Course:

The race takes place on a roughly 5km course, which must be completed multiple times depending on the chosen distance (S-distance 1x, M-distance 2x, L-distance 4x). The Mini-run starts on the main course, then turns back at the designated distance and runs back to the finish along the same route. The 400m race will be held within the race center area and the surrounding streets.

By registering, participants acknowledge that the race takes place on a trail, and successfully completing it requires proper physical and mental preparation, as well as experience. The organizers are not responsible for accidents or damages resulting from lack of preparation or negligence.

Photographs and videos will be taken during the race. By registering, participants acknowledge and consent to the use and publication of these images.
