If you are collecting a package on behalf of someone else, please bring a copy of their ID or proof of paid registration. Club representatives must announce in advance if they plan to collect starter packs for their runners so that we can prepare them on time.
RACE DAY PARKING
- Public Transport Recommendation:
We recommend all runners and their supporters use public transportation to reach the event, as special traffic regulations will be in place. - Road Closures:
Radnička cesta (from Vukovarska to Držićeva), as well as Zoranićeva, Zahorova, Ivana Bunića Vučića, and Hektorovićeva streets, will be closed to all traffic from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM. - Parking Options:
For those arriving by car, we suggest securing a parking spot early at the large Super Konzum parking lot (Ul. Grada Vukovara 275) or in nearby streets.
CHANGING ROOMS
- INDOOR:
Heated changing rooms will be available on race day on the 8th floor of the Hilton Garden Inn hotel. They will be open from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Volunteers will be stationed at the entrances, but runners are kindly asked not to leave valuables inside. Items are left at the owner’s risk, and the organizers will not be held responsible for any losses.
After 11:30 AM, the indoor changing rooms will close, and runners arriving later will be directed to the outdoor changing area (tent). - OUTDOOR:
An outdoor changing tent will be set up in the hotel parking lot, staffed to assist with item storage, similar to last year. Each runner will receive a unique wristband for reclaiming their belongings after the race.
The outdoor changing area will be open for item drop-off from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, with pick-up available after the race.
