Time Keeping and Rankings by www.icron.it
Each finisher will receive a medal and a small trophy. There is no goody bag. The medals are made so as to be joined together into one modular medal, as shown in the video below, which refers to the previous year’s medals. There will be new ones this year.
CHANGING THE CHOSEN DISTANCE DURING THE SERIES
If you start running one type of race and after one or more days you decide to run a longer distance, you will appear in the final 10 in 10 rankings of the shorter race you initially entered, considering your passages at that shorter distance for the longer races.
On the contrary, if you have registered for a longer distance and, after one or more races, you wish to switch to a shorter one, your passages at the shorter distance will be considered in the final rankings.
ENTERTAINMENT: THE MARATHON PARADISE
A 200-mt long private area on the beach of the Lake is reserved exclusively to the runners and their families, where it is possible to suntan, bathe in the lake and rest. Moreover, each day there will be live music, pasta parties with hot pasta dishes, sausages, grilled meat, buns and beer.
