PRE RACE INFO
Dear runners!
SUNRISE MARATHON | The HALF MARATHON will start on Sunday, June 22 at 4:46 a.m.
Please pay close attention to the weather forecast and adjust your drinking regime and clothing accordingly. It should be a pleasant 14 – 16 degrees at the start. But it will gradually get warmer. A large part of the race course will be in the shade.
Important information:
Immediately after the start, you will have an introductory lap on the inline track.
You will then leave the area and set off on the track. After about 2.2 km from the start (the first crossroads after the bridge over the motorway), the route splits in the FIRST LAP. Our organizers will be there to help you find your way around! Marathon runners turn right (keep on the right side of the road) and run towards the turn at the Chrlice biotope.
Participants in the half marathon will run directly. Stay on the left side of the road! After the turn at Holásky, you return directly to the finish. The second and third rounds are the same as for marathon runners.
Course marking: Our organizers will be at every important place to help you navigate the course. The first two kilometers and then every 5 kilometers of the marathon course will be marked with orientation boards. The half marathon is not marked by individual kilometers, but the course through the finish area at 0.9 km, 4.7 km, 12.9 km and the finish is at 21.095 km will help you orient yourself.
Luggage storage: We recommend that you keep your belongings (except valuables) in the car. The guarded storage will be in operation until 10:00 a.m., after which the organizer is no longer responsible for the stored items.
Transport to the start: A special connection of the N94 bus line departs at 3:00 a.m. from the Main Train Station as part of the regular departure (the connection connects to all lines of the night departure). We have an agreement with the transport company that it will continue from the terminal in Modřice to the starting point. He will be there at about 3:40 a.m. You will have enough time to warm up and arrange any registration and collection of your start number. The ticket can be paid for with the driver or by credit card at the terminal on the bus. You must choose the type of ticket for 3 zones! It is necessary to tell the driver that you are going to the Olympia Center. An indicative map of the bus departure point can be found in the attachment to this e-mail. A taxi from the center of Brno costs about 350-400 CZK and the journey takes about 15 minutes. To park your own car, use the parking lot with plenty of free spaces in close proximity to the start and finish.
Refreshment stations: There will be two refreshment stations on the track. One in the target area and one before the turn at the Chrlice biotope. Water, an ionic drink, bananas, oranges, raisins and salt will be available at the target’s location. At the turnaround in Chrlice there is water and an ionic drink. Water and ion tank will be prepared in cups. In case of very warm weather, we will expand the offer of water in 0.5 l PET bottles at the turnaround in Holásky. There will be plenty of fluids! For your own refreshments, there will be a place reserved at the refreshment station in the start and finish area. After the run, plenty of fluids will be available, as well as cakes and fruit to replenish energy.
