Accompaniment by any type of vehicle or as a fellow runner
- By all marathon standards and in the spirit of sports culture, any type of escort, whether it is a bicycle escort or a joint run where one person is out of competition (without a number or has already finished the race) and the other is in the race - is punishable. disqualification for the person in the race, and for the person helping him if he has already finished the race. In both cases, it puts all other participants in the race at a disadvantage, and the safety of the race is compromised because injuries can occur.
- Accompaniment by any type of vehicle (cars, electric scooters, bicycles, or motorcycles) is strictly prohibited.
- Rollerblades, Heelys, skateboards, and similar devices are not allowed in the race.
