Checkpoints and dropping out

Maximum running times

The maximum running time for marathon is 6 hours from the start. This means the runner must cross the finishing line at 5 pm at the latest, to be able to get a result. 

The half-marathon finish area is closed at the same time as marathon, so the maximum running time for half-marathon is 3 h 40 min. These time limitations will be used in all functions of the race, for example the services after the race will be closed according to the schedule at 5:30 pm. If needed, the slower runners will get a lift back to the race center. 

With 10K and 5K there is no time limitations.
