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! The chip is disposable and is not returned after the race.

The limit for reaching the finish line is 7 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.

1. Go for a sports-health check-up before the race.
2. Before the race, we recommend a preventive sports health check-up.
3. In the race, maintain your running pace from the start.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Use the designated toilet areas.
7. Adhere to the instructions of the organisers.
8. Make sure you look around you before throwing away your cup, spitting or blowing your nose.
9. 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.
10. The refreshment stations are many metres long. Use the whole length of the space and don’t stop right at the first table.
11. 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.
12. Share your joy about completing the run with your fans only after you’ve crossed the finish line.
13. 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.

Anyone can sign up, even without a Runners ID – that means you don’t need to have a profile with all your details set up.

Without proper registration and a race number, participation in the race is not possible.

Due to capacity limitations, technical facilities and a baggage storage area are not available for participants of the dm family mile and dm bambini run.

You can pick up your race number at the Marathon Expo, where race numbers for competitive runs are distributed. It’s not necessary for each participant to come in person – one parent can pick up the numbers for the whole family. You will be asked to present an ID card or another form of identification. To collect numbers for other runners, it’s enough to provide their names or the order number.

Along with your race number, you will also receive a starter pack.

The exact start and finish locations will be published later. Thank you for your understanding.

The start is in waves, with the first ones to start are the children themselves, who dare to run without their parents. Then the whole families start at a faster pace, followed by the slower runners. The last ones to start are the runners who are more likely to walk the route, families with strollers, small children on balance bikes, etc.

The division is for the safety of all runners, and for the best experience for children, who can really compete and give it their all.

At the finish line, each participant will receive a medal and a small snack. We ask that you continue smoothly into the corridor after the finish line and not prevent other competitors from completing the race.

dm bambini run is a race intended for the little ones. The race is run in three categories. Categories are divided by age and distance. The dm bambini run itself is a non-competitive run and is completely free.

Anyone can sign up, even without a Runners ID – this means you don’t need to create a profile with all your information. All you have to do is meet the age of the child. You can register online or in person at our expo (note that the capacity of the plant fills up quickly).

It is not possible to participate in the race without a proper application and starting number.
