Official Race times will be displayed at the start and finish lines. Please note that producing the official time for the race is entirely the authority of the Committee.
Time recording is prepared to record the time of each participant. All Participants have been given a bib number with a timing chip which must be worn during the Race to obtain an official time.
Participants must be able to complete the entire distance that must be covered starting from the official start line to the official finish line, within the time limits required by the Committee ("Cut Off Time / COT" and "Cut Off Points / COP").
Apart from the Cut Off Time and Cut Off Points, the Committee also determines check points ("Check Points") which are placed at the start/finish line and at other predetermined time recording locations, to ensure that all Participants follow the official Race route. Participants who fail to follow the official Race route will be disqualified from the Race.
Participants must meet the Cut Off Time as follows:
- Half Marathon: 3 (three) hours and 30 (thirty) minutes
Apart from Cut Off Time, the Committee also applies Cut Off Points. All Participants who arrive at the Cut Off Points point above the Cut Off Points time limit will be stopped and escorted to the Competition center using official vehicles provided by the Committee.
Cut Off Points are placed at the following points:
- KM 5.5: 50 (fifty) minutes after gun start.
- KM 10.5: 1 (one) hour 40 (forty) minutes after gun start.
- KM 15: 2 (two) hours 30 (thirty) minutes after gun start.
Participants who cannot meet the Cut Off Time and Cut Off Points, as well as Participants who are disqualified, are declared as Participants who have not completed the Race and are not entitled to obtain finishing rights.
Participants must use the correct bib number and the bib must be clearly visible during the race. The bib number is a specific personal identification for the Participant and cannot be exchanged and/or transferred in any way.
The starting corral will be closed when the gun starts or when the start signal is sounded. Participants who are not in the corral start distance category when the signal sounds are not permitted to enter the corral and must enter through the corral from the back.
The starting line will close 10 (ten) minutes after the start gun sounds. Participants who do not cross the start line before the time limit will automatically be declared Did Not Start (DNS).
Participants who engage in unsportsmanlike behavior including but not limited to blocking, and/or obstructing other Participants along the Race route will be automatically disqualified from the Race.
