A. Application
competition rules of the Athletics Union shall apply, except to the extent that they are deviated from in these general conditions. The competition rules of World Athletics apply, except to the extent that the competition rules of the Athletics Union or these general conditions deviate therefrom. Both competition regulations are available for inspection at the Organiser and will be sent to the Participant by the Organiser at his request.

The actual allocation of a starting area and its classification will be made by the Organizer.

C. Honorary Prizes
Each Participant that reaches the finish line in time will receive a commemorative medal. A Participant is not entitled to a prize if he has acted in violation of the competition regulations. Participants who cross the finish line after the deadline will no longer be included in the race result. An awarded prize must be returned to the Organizer if, after it has been awarded, it appears that the Participant has acted in violation of the race rules.
D. Determination of Results
The organizer shall determine the results and is entitled to change the results after inaccuracies have been found. An awarded prize must be returned to the Organiser by the Participants if, based on the results, there is no longer any right to that prize after it has been changed. The gross time is the official time.
E. Manner of movement
Participants must move forward on foot over the course set by the Organization, in a manner customary for road athletics and according to the rules of the Athletics Union and World Athletics.
F. Starting Position
the actual allocation of a starting square to a Participant will be made by the Organiser. The Organiser reserves the right not to recognize times.
G. Starting Numbers
The participant will receive from the Organizer at least one start number on which the start number assigned to him/her is indicated. The Participant must attach the start number on his/her chest (if made available also his/her back) using the safety pins distributed by the Organiser.
The start numbers must be attached and worn in such a way that the start number and other information depicted on them are visible. They must not be cut or folded. The Participant is prohibited from wearing start numbers other than those provided to him/her by the Organizer. The Participant is urged to indicate any medical information on the inside of the start number (for one start number on the back of the chest start number and two start numbers on the inside of the back start number).
The Organiser will take the starting numbers of Participants who have been disqualified or otherwise dropped out.
H. Time records
The Organiser shall determine the finish time and the intermediate times (if any) of the Participants. This determination is binding. The time registration takes place using the MYLAPS BibTag. This is a time registration chip attached to the back of the race number. The Organiser can only register the times of the Participant if it is worn correctly.
I. Deadline/last runner
In connection with the clearance of the traffic course, the Participant must have crossed the finish line within a certain time limit after the start, otherwise, he/she will not be included in the results. Participants who cross the finish line after the deadline will not be included in the race results. The judgment of the Referee 'last runner' appointed by the Organiser shall be binding in determining whether a Participant has passed a particular point in time. For race athletes, the limits for inclusion in the race results apply following the race regulations.
I. Disqualification/withdrawal from the contest
The Organiser is entitled to disqualify a Participant and/or remove him from the competition if he does not comply with these competition regulations or behaves in an unsportsmanlike or improper manner or if this is deemed necessary on medical grounds or in connection with an orderly course of the Event.

K. Other provisions
We would like to celebrate our anniversary edition in the grand and festive way for which we are known worldwide. The chance that the event can take place safely is much greater in October than in April. Public health always comes first. Every individually registered runner will be able to keep their place in the rescheduled event as previously communicated.
