It is strictly forbidden to use any means of transport (during the race), or to go on the course with a child’s pram, run with dogs or carry children. Participation in the race is at participants’ own risk. More information about race rules. 

Your start number must be fixed visibly on your chest.

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

Timekeeping will be tracked through chips, which are attached to the back of the start number, and which must not be removed at any time during the race. NO CHIP = NO TIME! Chips are disposable.

Time limit is 3 hours from the start of the race (starting signal). The limit time is listed for each kilometer in the map of the race. All runners behind this time must leave the course and end their participation in the race for safety reasons.

1. The half marathon isn’t a sprint. It’s more than 21 km.
2. Go for a sports-health check-up before the race.
3. Keep an eye on the weather forecast and dress as if the temperature were 5 °C higher. You can put on an old coat or t-shirt at the start. All clothing left in the start lanes will go to the needy.
4. Fix your start number to a visible place on your chest and complete the details required on the reverse side. This will make it easier to provide health assistance if necessary.
5. Use the designated toilet areas.
6. Adhere to the instructions of the organisers.
7. Make sure you look around you before throwing away your cup, spitting or blowing your nose.
8. If you can’t go on any more, first cross to the edge of the course before stopping. This will prevent collisions and unexpected encounters.
9. The refreshment stations are many metres long. Use the whole length of the space and don’t stop right at the first table.
10. You can run with headphones if you want, but many bands and music points are located along the course so it would be a pity to miss them.
11. Share your joy about completing the run with your fans only after you’ve crossed the finish line.
12. Everyone’s a winner. Enjoy the run and the happiness regardless of the time.

Take part in the race only in excellent health and after adequate preparation. We recommend that you undergo a specialist check-up and pay close attention to your current state of health.

If you do not feel well, please consider your participation in the race. Fill in your health information on the back of your start number in case it would be needed.

With the RunCzech App you can easily pick up your start number, receive all benefits from race partners and learn important race information. Your friends and family can also find useful information in the app.
