Skater

Race kit distribution will take place on November 2-3-4th at Dr. Mimar Kadir Topbaş Gösteri ve Sanat Merkezi.

It will be announced here soon.

All participants who register for the race will receive a recyclable electronic timing chip from the Race Kit Distribution area that will measure their time during the race.
 
On the day of the race, do not forget to tie your chip, which is distributed in the race kits, to your shoes and do not remove it from your shoes during the race. The times of runners who run without the chip cannot be measured.
 
Since your chip is matched with your credentials, we strongly advise you not to exchange your chip with other runners.
 
Do not cross the chip carpets at the start point, on the track or at the finish line twice. This will result in an incorrect measurement of your running time.
 
At the end of the run, do not return to the track for any reason after crossing the finish line. In this case, the system will measure your chip again and your running time will be revised according to the last time you crossed the carpet.
 
IMPORTANT: Skate athletes must pass through the chip stations located only in Altunizade and Balat after passing through the start carpet, at the points where the speed drops. Since the chip carpets are not suitable for skates, they do not have to pass through other intermediate points!
