Frequently Asked Questions – Summary of information before D-Day!
We know that you can’t wait and you want to plan your time properly. Therefore, in this article we will summarize the information about the ČSOB Bratislava Marathon, which you ask most often and which you will also find in the individual tabs on the website.
Obligation to use a respirator in designated areas!
The event takes place in base mode. Competitors will therefore not have to prove themselves with any certificate or test result. However, the obligation to wear a respirator is still maintained at mass events, even outdoors. Please use a respirator when entering the registration and presentation areas for the participants and at the same time before entering the start corridor and in it. This rule does not apply to the performance of sports activities! Thank you for your understanding and mutual consideration.
