Rewards: The first 3 boys and the first 3 girls in each age category will receive material prizes.

In categories A and B, it is possible for parents to run with their children. Parents, either alone or together with their children, are always placed at the end of each starting wave!!! We strongly ask parents to be respectful, especially in relation to children who run alone without the support of their parents, as well as to each other. Don't forget that you set an example for children with your "fair play" behavior and expressions.

• Children will start in individual categories A to F,
• Children always start first, girls and then boys,
• Children start in waves in the number of a maximum of 50 children (3 to 4 starts/waves within the category are expected in categories A and B),

Considering that the children's starting numbers also contain a chip !!!, which records the time of each child from the start carpet to the finish carpet, it is necessary for the children to cross the start and the finish on their own feet, otherwise the timer will not record them and the child will not be included in the results !!!.

Parents are advised that due to wave starts and the fact that children will be judged on the start time of the respective wave in which the child is starting, the "gun time wave", it is possible that the overall winner of the given category will be whichever child has the fastest time, regardless of, from which wave it starts.

Only children who run the entire distance without significant help from their parents will be evaluated on the podium and can receive a reward!!! (carrying or pulling children is prohibited - the child will not be disqualified, but will not be evaluated in the results in the order of the best who will be rewarded).

After the event, the organizer will publish the results list on bratislavamarathon.com, so that each child can print an online diploma confirming his participation in kid´s runs.

The organizer BE COOL, s.r.o. reserves the right, depending on the circumstances, to modify and further specify some of the data listed in these propositions, or organizational instructions.

Organizer BE COOL, s.r.o. also reserves the right to cancel or interrupt the event or any of the event's disciplines in case of serious danger, in particular war, adverse weather, danger of terror or other attack threatening the safety of the event's participants, or from other unforeseen vis maior events and circumstances.

In such a case, the runner is not entitled to a refund of the start fee, or its part since the organizer has already incurred costs for the preparation of the event in the time before the very moment of interruption/cancellation of the event. However, the organizer may, after considering all the circumstances and calculating the costs associated with the preparation of the event, compensate the runner for a part of the entry fee.
