HALF MARATHON RELAY ZONE
For the half marathon, the relay zone will be marked at 10.5 km of the course on the Buda Lower Rakpart (the black “end” point on the first lap map of the half marathon). The relay zone can be accessed from Clark Ádám tér, via the Halász utca exit. When changing, hand over the relay baton with the chip to the relay partner who is running the second 10.5 km leg! The map is available by clicking HERE!
We recommend that you make the race memorable with a joint finish. The first team member can join 50-100 meters before the finish gate, so you can cross the finish line together! Please note that relay teams can only relay 1x in the relay zone. Teams relaying elsewhere on the route will be excluded from the race for equal chances.

HALF MARATHON RELAY BATON DEPOSIT:
Half marathon relay participants are kindly requested to bring the 1000 HUF deposit with them when collecting their start pack. It will be returned to the relay team member immediately after the finish line, after he/she has handed in the relay baton at the finish area!

REFRESHMENT
BioTechUSA will provide the full refreshment for the Maratonman Series 2024 in Budapest!
The product range is available by clicking HERE.

WE DO NOT USE PLASTIC OR PAPER DISPOSABLE CUPS AT REFRESHMENT POINTS IN OUR COMPETITIONS.  We adopt the tried and tested slogan and method used in cross-country races.  We provide refreshments in the cups, canteens or drinking containers you have with you! In order to avoid congestion at the refreshment points, we will provide longer stops than before and set up a sufficient number of ECO refreshment tables, already tested in the 2021 season. You will be able to buy both isotonic drinks and water for yourselves, so that together we can drastically REDUCE the LITTER generated at our events!

FINALLY, THE RUNNING LABEL

  • On the runway, run on the right and always overtake from the left.
  • Let the faster runner pass you.
  • Choose the right start zone for your running ability, we measure net time, so it doesn’t matter when you cross the start line.
  • Keep the race centre, the course and after the refreshment stations clean (put energy bars and gel packs in the bins).
  • If you smoke, respect your fellow runners by smoking only in designated areas in the race centre.
  • Always wear your race number to distinguish you from those who start the race without an entry – they will be removed from the race area.

The organiser reserves the right to change the programme and the call for entries.

ALWAYS RUN IN SHOES THAT FIT YOUR FEET AND YOUR RUNNING STYLE! THE BEST CHOICE IS MARATONMAN DEPO; WE ARE WAITING FOR YOU IN OUR WEBSHOP OR IN THE 13TH DISTRICT, 9-11 TÜZÉR UTCA!
