DRESSING ROOM AND CLOAKROOM AT THE RACE CENTER: If you wish to arrive at the starting point already dressed in your running attire, you have the option to drop off your bag in the cloakroom tent located next to the race center, marked with bib number ranges! The men’s dressing room will be set up in the southern block of ELTE Lágymányosi Campus. The entrance will be through the doors on the side facing the main stage of the building. The women’s dressing room will also be in the same building. The entrance will be through the doors on the side of the building away from the Danube.

Dressing Room and Cloakroom at the Start: Bags dropped off at the start will be transported by truck to the cloakroom tent, located on the grassy area next to the northern block of ELTE Lágymányosi Campus, marked with bib number ranges. Departure time: 10:10. Only securely sealed bags can be handed over to the truck! Changing facilities will be provided at the starting point. Please note that we do not provide storage for valuables in the cloakroom!

Cloakroom Procedure: The cloakroom ribbon will be placed at the bottom of the bib numbers. Runners should detach this ribbon from the bib number in advance and securely attach it to their bag using a safety pin to ensure it does not fall off.

After reaching the finish line, our colleagues will hand out the bags in a tent designated according to bib numbers, next to the marathon cloakroom, on the grassy area next to the northern block of ELTE Lágymányosi Campus. Bags dropped off in the cloakroom can be collected until 15:00.

Bicycle Storage: At the finish location, we will provide a bicycle storage area on the Danube side of the southern block of ELTE Lágymányosi Campus.

Toilets: At the finish line, you can use the toilets in the basement near the men’s and women’s dressing rooms. Mobile toilets can be found near the starting area, and mobile urinals will also be available for men. On the route, you will find mobile toilets at the refreshment stations and relay points, with mobile urinals available for men as well.

The start will not be in a common wave; instead, participants will start individually within their planned finish time interval. According to your level of fitness, you can choose from six different runner time zones. You can select the time zone that corresponds to your kilometer pace and your projected finishing time.

Distance: 30,000 meters

Route:

The route follows the  SPAR Budapest Marathon® course, starting from the 12,195th meter to the finish line.

Kilometer Markers: On the route, the kilometers of the marathon will be marked with signs placed at a height of 2 meters. This will help you verify your progress and ensure that you complete the distance at the pace you have planned and prepared for. The kilometer markers for the 30 km distance will not be separately indicated.

• Individual refreshment drop-off will be available on-site at the event center, on October 12th, no later than 8:15 AM.
• At the refreshment stations along the route, we will provide 1 cubic meter collection containers primarily for collecting empty cups. You will find these containers on both sides of the route, following the last refreshment table.
• The last container will be placed 50 meters after the end of the station, and this will be indicated by a separate sign. Please make sure to dispose of any waste from the refreshment station into this container.
• Any waste generated along the route should not be scattered. Please place it in the containers provided at the refreshment stations.
• At the refreshment stations, we will not hand you cups filled with water or isotonic drinks. You are responsible for taking these from the tables yourself. Under no circumstances should you place used, empty cups back onto the refreshment tables!
• Refreshment stations can often pose challenges. Do not attempt to squeeze between two runners for a quick drink or snack. Adhere to basic etiquette during the race as well. Wait your turn and remember that there are often fewer people towards the end of the station. Take only what you need, as there may be runners behind you who need refreshments even more.
• If weather conditions warrant, we may set up additional temporary water stations along the route.
• After crossing the finish line, you can collect your medal first, followed by your finisher’s package.

3 hours 56 minutes according to the marathon cut-off time.

The sweep bus follows the pace of the runners who are expected to complete the marathon within 5 hours and 30 minutes. Those who are overtaken by the sweep bus must board it, their race number will be marked, and they will not be allowed to enter the finish area.

The timing provider is AGNI-Timing.

The timing is done using UHF chips attached to the back of the bib number. Please read the information about chip usage!

Bib Number Wearing Rules: The timing is conducted through timing mats (antennas) placed on the ground, which detect the signal transmitter placed on the bib number from a distance of approximately 2-3 meters. The timestamp is recorded when the strongest signal is detected (when passing over the mat).

To ensure successful recording of individual times, please observe the following rules:

The bib number must be worn visibly throughout the race, on the abdomen/chest area. (Bib belt holders are allowed.) Covering or concealing the bib number is prohibited. Do not remove, fold, or pierce the chip located on the back of the bib number. Everyone should ensure that they wear their own bib number during the race. After crossing the finish line, please leave the timing point as soon as possible

1st-3rd place male and female runners 1st-3rd place male and female wheelchair and handbike participants The award ceremony will be based on the finishing order (gross time) of the participants. The results published on the website (based on net time) may show different rankings.

The winner of the 30 km race is the participant who completes the course in accordance with the rules and crosses the finish line first. Therefore, we kindly ask those participants who are aiming for rankings to start in the first starting time slot, as the rankings will be determined based on the order of crossing the finish line. If someone starts later, even with a better time, they may not be awarded a prize.
