Package pickup: between 11:30 and 15:00. Attention! We do not offer valuables storage in the coatroom.

• There is no option for individual refreshment delivery in the Budapest 150 Half Marathon race category.
• 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.

2 hours 45 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

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.
