Is there a participation limit?
No, we do not have a participation limit.

How many minutes before the start of my race should I be in the starting area?
10 minutes, but we recommend being present earlier around the starting point.

Are there pacers?
Yes, there are pacers present on the full and half marathon.

Is it allowed to accompany people on their bikes?
No, this is not allowed.

Is there a possibility to bring my own sports drinks?
We offer participants in the Demcon Marathon and Mazars Half Marathon the possibility to bring their own sports drinks. Participants of the marathon can bring their own sport drinks on Saturday, April 12 from 11:00-17:00 at the Runnersbeurs or on Sunday, April 13 between 08:00 and 08:30 at the registration desk in “Saxion”. The bottles must have the start number and the kilometer point of the care station written on them. The maximum height of the water bottles is 24 centimeters. Unfortunately we cannot deliver all bottles that are higher to the corresponding supply point.

Will there be starting areas?
The starting areas are divided according to time. You must take a seat in the starting box that you think applies to you. The organization pays close attention during the competition day.
Are you participating in the Univé FitRUN 5 km? Then make sure you don’t stand between the half and full marathon runners. As a participant of the Univé FitRUN, you start 5 km behind the half and full marathon runners.

How does the time measurement work?
Time clocks are located at all 5 km points of the run, at the half marathon point and at the finish. The kilometer points are indicated by signs on the side of the road.

Are there lockers available?
Yes, there are lockers available. To ensure that we can provide participants with a 100% secure way to store valuable belongings, this year, by popular request, we are introducing lockers instead of the traditional free cloakroom.

You can easily book a locker online by following the link included in the confirmation email of your registration. If you have already registered, you can use THIS LINK.

Important information:
– A locker costs €5.
– The dimensions of the locker are 30 x 23 x 40 cm.
– If you have booked a locker online, you will receive an email on Saturday, April 20th, at 09:00 with the number of your locker and the corresponding pin code.
– Lockers are also available on April 21st. Simply scan the QR code on-site to book a locker (cashless). Booking online has the advantage for you of ensuring a locker and for us of knowing how many lockers to hire.

We aim to make your match experience as comfortable and worry-free as possible and hope to be of service to you!
