Safety-pins will be included in the envelope containing your start number.

Preparation – The Key to Success
Only run if you’re fit. Don’t push yourself if you’re not in good health.
Start hydrating several days before the race. During the run, keep drinking fluids regularly, even if you don’t feel thirsty.
Eat sensibly. Avoid heavy or unfamiliar foods that could upset your digestion.
Keep important information handy. Fill out your online medical card or write essential details—such as allergies or medications—on the back of your race number.
Don’t underestimate the importance of warming up. Before the start, do a light jog and some stretching.
Check the latest weather forecast. Adjust your pace, clothing, and fluid intake according to the current weather conditions.
Pay Attention to Warning Signs
Dizziness, nausea, chest pain, or extreme fatigue are signs that you should slow down and seek help.
Feeling overheated, chills, or confusion may indicate serious conditions like heat stroke or heat exhaustion.
Where to Find Us
The Prague EMS will have a Golem module at Old Town Square. Our medical tents will be located at Můstek and Ovocný trh, and ambulance teams will be stationed along the course.
Don’t Hesitate to Ask for Help
If you don’t feel well during the race or at the finish, don’t hesitate to ask medical staff or race organizers for help. You can also call (or ask spectators to call) the emergency services at 155.
Just standing at the starting line is already a small victory. Remember, you don’t have to finish at all costs. If something doesn’t feel right, the bigger win is knowing when to slow down, rehydrate, or seek help—and try again another time.
Please participate in the race only if you are in excellent health and have undergone adequate preparation. We recommend having a medical check-up with a specialist and paying close attention to your current health condition.
If you do not feel well or have symptoms of a respiratory illness, please consider whether to take part in the race.
Please fill in important medical information on the back of your bib number, such as allergies, medications, and an emergency contact person.

For non-competitive runs (dm Family Mile, dm Bambini Run, and Active Breakfast Run), the overall ranking is not evaluated.
You can contact us, if there is a mistake in your result within 5 working days after the race. Don’t forget to provide the name of the race, your start number and as many details as possible. In the team race the official result of all team members is added up.
