Conditions of participation
The marathon is open to all sufficiently trained runners born in 1996 or earlier. The half marathon and the 10 km run are open to all sufficiently trained runners born in 1998 or earlier. The start number must be worn clearly visible and unaltered on the front of the running shirt and is not transferable. Altering the official start number, in particular folding it or making the printed advertising invisible or illegible, may lead to disqualification.
Medical examination
If you answer “yes” to one or more questions of the health questionnaire, we recommend a sports-medical and cardiological examination before taking up regular training or competition.
Liability and insurance
Participation is at your own risk. Neither the organiser nor the city of Antalya accepts any liability of any kind; this also applies to accidents and to lost clothing or other items. A sports-medical examination is strongly recommended. By collecting the race documents every participant confirms that there are no health concerns against his or her participation (and that of team members).
