Parking: There are few parking spaces in the surrounding streets, which fill up early in the morning. It’s better to choose more distant but secure parking options. Larger parking areas near the race center:

The event center will be set up in the northern block of the ELTE Lágymányosi Campus.

At the event venue, the race center:

• On October 13th, between 12:00 and 18:00
• On October 14th, between 7:00 and 18:00
• On October 15th, between 7:00 and 9:10

You will be allowed to enter the race number pick-up area when a table becomes available. The race number pick-up tables are not organized by race number; you can approach any available table. It is IMPORTANT that you know your race number when you queue up at the tables.

If you don’t know your race number, you can search for your name in the starting list for the relevant distance, and your race number will be displayed.

Dressing area tents will be set up at the starting line.

Bags that you wish to be transported to the finish area’s wardrobe must be handed over to the waiting truck near the dressing area. The truck will depart for the finish area at 10:00, and there will be no further opportunity for bag drop-off.

At the finish line, you can retrieve your bag from the wardrobe tent designated according to your race number range.

Due to the proximity of the starting venue (approximately 2 km away), you have the option to use the dressing rooms and wardrobe facilities at the finish area before the race begins.

Dressing Rooms: The men’s dressing room will be located in the southern section of the ELTE Lágymányosi Campus. The entrance will be through the doors on the side facing the main stage. 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 opposite the Danube.

Wardrobe: The wardrobe tents will be set up on the grassy area next to the northern section of the ELTE Lágymányosi Campus. You can deposit your bags in the tents based on your race number range, which will be indicated with signs. Place the wardrobe tape at the bottom of your race number. The runner should detach the tape from the race number beforehand and securely attach it to the bag using the provided safety pin so that it doesn’t fall off. It’s advisable to fold the tape multiple times along the perforation for easier detachment. You can drop off your bag only at the tent corresponding to your race number range, but you don’t need to wait for the organizer to take it from you. You can independently place the bag in the designated area within the tent’s boundaries. After reaching the finish line, our colleagues will distribute the bags according to the race numbers.

Opening Hours: Bag Drop-off: 7:00-9:30 Bag Pickup: 11:30-15:00 Please note that we do not provide valuables storage at the wardrobe.

Bike Storage: Bike storage will be set up at the finish area on the Danube-facing side of the ELTE Lágymányosi Campus southern section.

Restrooms: You can use the restrooms located in the basement near the men’s and women’s dressing rooms. Mobile restrooms can be found near the dressing rooms as well as near the start/finish area. Mobile urinals will also be available for men. Along the route, you will find mobile restrooms at the starting line, refreshment stations, and relay points. Mobile urinals will also be available for men.

The start will not be collective; instead, each participant will start individually within their planned finish time interval. Depending on your fitness level, you can choose from six different runner’s time zones, corresponding to your kilometer pace and target finish time.

Distance: 21.097 m

Kilometer Markers: Kilometers along the route will be indicated by signs positioned 2 meters high. This will help you monitor and maintain your planned pace and fitness-appropriate speed throughout the course.

• 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.

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

The awards ceremony is based on the order of arrival at the finish line (gross time). The results list available on the website (based on net time) may display different rankings.

The winner of the 21 km race is the one who completes the distance according to the rules and crosses the finish line first. Therefore, we ask competitors aiming for top placements to start in the first wave, as rankings are determined by the order of crossing the finish line. If someone starts later, even with a better time, they might not receive an award.
