Participant Health

All runners take part in the race WITH THEIR OWN RESPONSIBILITY. The organizers are not responsible for issues related to the health of the participants and are due to the lack of preventive medical examination. Participants are advised to have a recent medical examination prior to their participation in the race. Particular attention should be given to people who have any form of cardiac problems. It is also recommended that all participants, regardless of age, undergo complete cardiac testing before participating in the race. The organizers will not ask for medical certificates for any athlete, as all participants are solely at their own risk and the minors are at the responsibility of their guardians.

Support stations

Along the Semi Marathon route there are runner support stations. Bottled water is available to all participants in Startup, Termination as well as intermediate stations on the route. Participants in the Half Marathon Runners are also offered an Isotonic drink at a stopover and Termination.
