➡️ Changing Rooms and Storage room: There will be separate men’s and women’s changing rooms and a storage area available on-site after registration in our registration tent.
Recommendation! To quickly locate and hand over your backpack/bag after finishing, we recommend marking your backpack (especially black bags/backpacks) with a colorful ribbon or scarf. Our colleagues will find it faster based on your instructions. 🙂
➡️ Race Route: During the run, you can enjoy beautiful views—the route runs under the famous Nová hoľa and through the PARK SNOW area. If you are unsure about your shoe choice, we recommend road shoes, which are sufficient for this route. You will encounter hills followed by descents where you can catch your breath.
Find the maps of individual disciplines HERE.
➡️ Refreshments on the Route and at the Finish, Medal: For the 10 km runners, a refreshment station will be available after approximately 4.5 km. At the finish, refreshments and drinks will be provided by the event partners Mattoni and BILLA.
🏅 Each runner will receive a participant medal at the finish.
➡️ Photos: Professional photo service GetPica will provide event photos. After the event, participants who consented to photography during registration will receive a link to their photos via the email address provided.
If you are unsure whether you gave this consent, keep your race number and visit www.getpica.com. After free registration, enter the numeric code found under the QR code on your race number.
Do not cover your race number with another layer of clothing so your photos can be correctly assigned. If you like the photos, you can purchase them individually or as a set.
