The limit for reaching the finish line is 3 hours from the start of the race (start signal by the starter). The time limit is indicated for each kilometer on the race map. Runners after this time must, for safety reasons, leave the track on the instructions of the organizer and end their participation in the race.

After the race

Medal engraving

  • If you have not purchased the engraving during registration, it is possible to purchase the engraving on site.

AFTER CLOSING, IT WILL NO LONGER BE POSSIBLE TO HAVE YOUR FINAL TIME ENGRAVED, AND IT WILL NOT BE POSSIBLE TO SUBMIT COMPLAINTS.


Result service

Results will be published after the race as soon as possible. The ranking is determined by the official time. Since September 2025, the official time at RunCzech races has been defined as the runners’ real time (from crossing the start line to finishing the race). The previously used so-called gun time (time from the starting gun) is no longer applied as the primary source for determining the final ranking.

  • The only exception applies to elite athletes, for whom gun time continues to be used as the main official time, mainly for additional verification purposes, for example by referees when confirming national and world records.
  • In races without an elite starting field, the overall results are determined based on the so-called chip time (from crossing the start line to finishing the race).

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.

Please follow the instructions of the organizers and volunteers! Thank you.
