The timing service for the Kékes Peak Run is provided by AGNI-Timing.

Timing is done with UHF chips attached to the back of the starting number.

Rules for wearing bib numbers:
Timing is done using timing mats (antennas) placed on the ground, which detect the transmitter placed in the starting number from a distance of approximately 2-3 meters. Time stamping is done at the strongest signal (when passing over the mat).

To record successful individual times, please follow these rules:

• The race number must be worn visibly throughout the race, on the abdomen/chest (a race number belt is permitted).
  • It is forbidden to cover the starting number!
• The chip on the back of the bib number must not be removed, folded or pierced with a safety pin.
• Everyone should make sure to wear their own race number during the race.
• After arriving at your destination, please leave the measurement point as soon as possible.

The changing tents

• we will set it up near the race center at the start
• We will set it up at the bottom of the descent road next to the transmission tower at the finish line.

Packages dropped off at the start will be transported to the finish line by wardrobe trucks waiting on the section of Route 24 between the changing tents and the start.

– Cloakroom bus opening: 9:00
– Departure of the cloakroom bus to Kékes: 10:40
– Packages can be picked up at Kékes-tető until 1:45 p.m. about the trucks that we park next to the locker room.

We will be setting up mobile toilets at the start, at the 1st, 2nd and 3rd route refreshment stations, and at the finish line.

We do not store valuables in the cloakroom, and the truck does not transport bicycles. Thank you for your understanding!

We will close Route 24 approximately 15 minutes before the start, at which time we will turn in the starting gate.

• After turning the gate, you can line up for the start, on the Gyöngyös side of the gate.
• On the right side of the running route, we will use cones to ensure the passage of the long-distance bus service passing during this period. After the bus has passed, you can only go outside the cones.
• The start timekeepers, (from the zone corresponding to the planned pace)

Useful: The timekeepers are marked with flags. The flag always marks the end of the zone, so you have to enter the zone there and then move forward towards the starting gate..

The start is a STAGED START.

• This means that we will divide the field into groups of a few hundred people, so we will start the participants in 3 waves, each starting wave will last approximately 1 minute.
• The organizers will form the start of the next wave near the starting gate and then escort the field forward to the starting line.
• After arriving at the starting line, we start them about 1-1.5 minutes later, and then we do the same with the participants starting in the next waves.

we solve the pre-launch update with a queue tap

Useful:

• We cannot hand out refreshments in glasses at the refreshment stations, you have to get your own drink.
• The biggest problems often arise at the refreshment stations. Don’t try to squeeze in between two runners for a quick drink or snack. Follow basic etiquette in a running race, wait your turn, and remember that there are often fewer people at the far end. Don’t take more than you need, as there will likely be several runners behind you who may need a refresher even more than you do.

IMPORTANT!

• At the refreshment stations along the route, we will place giant bags attached to a cordon capable of storing 1 cubic meter of waste, primarily for collecting empty cups.
  • You will find the giant bags on both sides of the route, after the last refreshment table.
  • The last giant bags will be placed about 50 meters from the end of the station, this will be indicated by a separate sign. Please throw the waste you brought with you from the refreshment station into this at the latest!
  • Please do not throw away any waste generated along the route, but put it in the containers placed at the refreshment station.

The field is followed by a closing bus that is constantly slowing down at a pace of 9 minutes/km. If the last member of the field runs at a faster pace, the closing bus follows him. Anyone who is caught by the closing bus must get off, their start number will be crossed out, and they may not enter the finish area.

Kékes Peak Run partial time: you must arrive at the Mátraháza junction (8 km) in 12:33 minutes.

We may introduce a capacity limit for the event based on the number of participants.

When the limit is reached, the entry automatically stops.

We will award prizes to the absolute 1st-3rd place finishers in each gender of the Kékes Csúcsfuts.

• The results will be announced based on the order of arrival at the finish line (gross time). The results list on the website (based on net time) may also show a different ranking.
