Conducting the start
Stage start at the event:
• You can only enter the starting zones from the side facing Lake Balaton.
• Participants are initiated in several stages.
• Each zone is separated by tape, zone signs and organizers.
• The entry gates will be kept open between the starting waves, so you can join the starters who match the planned pace during the start.
• The flags marking the time zones are the same as the zone markings on the start number: black numbers on a yellow background
• Flags are always placed at the end of the starting zone.
• If you did not enter a planned pace, you will receive the sticker for the zone when you receive your start number.
• If your start number does not have a time zone marking, you can request one at the competition center, at the registration problem resolution table.
Zone 1: | Within 4:30 min/km | 10 km within 45:00 |
Zone 2: | Between 4:30-5:00 minutes/km | 10 km between 45:00-50:00 |
Zone 3: | Between 5:00-5:30 minutes/km | 10 km between 50:00-55:00 |
Zone 4: | Between 5:30-6:00 minutes/km | 10 km between 55:00-1:00:00 |
Zone 5 | Between 6:00-6:30 minutes/km | 10 km between 1:00:00-1:05:00 |
Zone 6 | Between 6:30-7:00 minutes/km | 10 km between 1:05:00-1:10:00 |
Zone 7 | Over 7:00 min/km | 10 km over 1:10:00 |
At this event, everyone can only enter the starting zone corresponding to their predetermined expected pace (minutes/km).
This also aims to reduce the chaos of the first kilometers after the start, and unnecessary overtaking. If only runners with the same pace start from one zone, the beginning of the run will be much calmer and more predictable.
The timing service provider is AGNI-Timing.
Timing is done with RFID chips attached to the back of the starting number.
Rules for wearing bib numbers:
both days:
There is no on-site refreshment drop-off facility at the competition center.
At the refreshment stations along the route, we will place 1 cubic meter collection containers, primarily for collecting empty cups.
You will find the collection containers on both sides of the route, after the last refreshment table.
The last container is located about 50 meters from the end of the station, and this is also indicated by a separate sign. Please throw the waste you brought with you from the refreshment station into this container at the latest.
Please do not throw away any waste generated along the route, but put it in the containers placed at the refreshment station.
At the refreshment station, we will not give you water or soft drinks in glasses; you will always take them from the tables.
Do not put the used, empty glass back on the refreshment table!
At the refreshment stations, watch out for crowds and sudden movements. Don’t try to squeeze in between two runners for a quick drink or snack. Follow basic etiquette in a running race, wait your turn, and remember that there are often fewer people at the far end of the station. Don’t take more than you need, as there will likely be several runners behind you who may need a refresher even more than you do.
If weather conditions warrant, we will build additional temporary water points along the route.
The total time for both daily 10.5 km sections is 1 hour 35 minutes.
The absolute 1st-3rd place woman and man will be awarded.
The results will be announced based on the order of arrival at the finish line (gross time). The results list on the website (based on net time) may also show a different ranking.
In each event, only those registered for that event will be evaluated.
Order your medal insert engraved with your name and finish time in advance! Avoid the queue at the venue, and we will mail it to you approximately three weeks after the event.
We will engrave your name and finish time on a self-adhesive plastic plaque. The plaque fits perfectly into the recess on the back of the medal. You don't have to search for money after your run, stand in line at the venue and wait for your medal to be made, or send it to be engraved afterwards. We will make and mail the insert to you. When it arrives, you just stick it on the back of your medal and you have a personal memento of your achievement.
