Why don’t you give exact time limits for the different starting groups?

Accepted Answer

The reason is that all starting groups should be equal in size. This minimises congestion and provides the best possible running experience.

The important thing is that you put yourself in the right starting group. Start groups are marked.

What is the start time for the races?

Accepted Answer

Both distances start at 10:00 . Come in good time. It is important that you get into the right starting group. Start groups are marked with finish time for marathon (not pace). So if you plan to finish half marathon in 2 hours, you place yourself in start group marked 4:00 (4 hours would it take to run marathon in your pace). You will find more info on the page participants and in your Start-PM

What does maximum time mean?
