At Telekom Night Run Bratislava, we will use again the services of the professional photo service GetPica. Approximately six photographers on the course and at the finish line will capture your efforts and emotions during the race. If you want to enjoy your photos, don’t forget to place your race number on your chest and avoid covering it with additional clothing.
Your race number contains a code (QR code + character code) that will allow us to match your photos. After the event, you will receive an email from GetPica with a link to your photos, which you can purchase individually or as a package.

How to get to Eurovea?
⭐ Attention! No headphones during the run! Using headphones while running is prohibited, and if this rule is violated, the participant may face disqualification! The reason for the headphone ban is primarily your safety. It is necessary for you to hear any possible instructions and guidance from the organizer, as well as from the police and rescue teams.
⭐ On Saturday evening, very pleasant, almost summer-like weather is forecasted, with temperatures around 20 degrees Celsius at the time of the start. Therefore, we recommend wearing a short-sleeved shirt or tank top. Throughout the day, don’t forget to stay hydrated by drinking fluids. If you decide to have an early dinner, opt for light meals, no later than 3 hours before the start.
