Conducting the start

 The 1/6 marathon, starting at 4 p.m., will be a mass start. This means that the field will start together.

20 minutes before the start, in order to avoid crowding on the sidewalk next to the starting zones, you can only line up for the start from the Balaton side (through the fence opened between the changing rooms and Hotel Európa).

During this period, the entrance and exit to the locker room will only be from the Balaton side.

We will establish diversions on the Petőfi Promenade between Táncsics Mihály Street and Mikes Kelemen Street.

The timing service provider is AGNI-Timing.
Timing is done with UHF chips attached to the back of the starting number.

Timing is done using timing mats (antennas) placed on the ground, which detect the transmitter placed in the starting number from a distance of approximately 2-3 meters. Time stamping is done at the strongest signal (when passing over the mat).

To record successful individual times, please follow these rules:

Rules for wearing bib numbers:

Individual starters:

• The race number must be worn visibly throughout the race, on the abdomen/chest (a race number belt is permitted).
• The chip on the back of the bib number must not be removed, folded or pierced with a safety pin.
• Everyone should make sure to wear their own race number during the race.
• After arriving at your destination, please leave the measurement point as soon as possible.

Gross 1 hour, must arrive by 5:00 PM

We may introduce a capacity limit for the event based on the number of participants.

When the limit is reached, the entry automatically stops.

Rankings are determined based on the order of arrivals at the finish line (Gross time). In each event, only those registered for that event are evaluated.
