For registrations submitted by February 1st, we will automatically display the first name on the race bib, below the race number.

  • We can only deviate from this upon specific request from the participant. For online registrations, in the ‘Rajtszámon megjelenő felirat’ (Text to appear on the race bib) section, please input the text ‘NEM KÉREK’ (I do not want) if you do not wish any text to appear on your bib.
  • You have the option to replace your first name with other text (e.g., a nickname) on the race bib, up to 14 characters in length. This request must be made at the time of registration.
  • Only those participants who explicitly request this will have text on their race bib; the default is to display the first name automatically. For participants who use their spouse’s last name with the suffix ‘-né,’ we kindly request that they provide their first name. Unfortunately, we cannot display image characters or emoticons.
  • There will be space for name inscription below the race number on the bib to accommodate later registrations.

You can find the list of already registered participants and the starting list here.

  • At the competition, all prepared runners and wheelchair users, handbike competitors, and participants running with baby strollers who accept the event information and entry conditions can take part. Wheelchair users or handbike competitors, if completing the course under their own power, can start from the front of the field. They must position themselves at the start gate from the route side, at the latest 5 minutes before the start.
  • Upon entering the start line, they must sign a declaration that, by adhering to the rules, they will not overtake the lead motorbike. They can start 1 minute before the official start time, accompanied by the lead motorbike, but after a designated point established following the finalization of the route, they can only follow the lead motorbike until that point. From there, they can proceed at their own pace to the finish line.
  • Wheelchair users and handbike competitors completing the course with assistance can position themselves in the zone corresponding to the indicated pace during registration. A time penalty of 10 minutes may be imposed on participants who fold or obscure their race number or fail to display it prominently during the race.
  • A participant may face disqualification if, despite repeated warnings, they violate the race number display rule, fail to complete the full designated course set by the organizers, provide inaccurate or incomplete information on the registration form, or misuse the timing chip.
  • For the safety of themselves and fellow runners, it is not recommended for participants to listen to music or use any audio player with both earphones during the course.
  • Throughout the race, cycling and motorcycling organizers work within the field, along with necessary ambulance teams.
  • The use of earphones cancels out external noise, potentially hindering fellow runners and the work of organizers and medical teams.
  • Inline skating, biking, running with a bike escort without a race number, and running with a dog are prohibited during the race.
  • A runner participating with a cycling or inline skating escort can be disqualified from the race.
  • We do not assume responsibility for the safekeeping of valuables during the event.
  • Any commercial or promotional activities at the event venue are only permitted with prior approval and in a coordinated manner by BSI.
  • BSI reserves the right for organizational reasons to limit the number of participants and to close registration at any time.
  • BSI reserves the right to make changes to the route and timing

Coming soon!

1 hour 30 minutes net time (aligned with the start time of the last participant)

The field is followed by a sweeper bus maintaining a continuously slowing pace. Anyone overtaken by the sweeper bus must board it, their race number will be marked, and they will not be allowed to enter the finish area.

The timing provider is AGNI-Timing.

The timing is done using UHF chips attached to the back of the bib number. Please read the information about chip usage!

Bib Number Wearing Rules: The timing is conducted through timing mats (antennas) placed on the ground, which detect the signal transmitter placed on the bib number from a distance of approximately 2-3 meters. The timestamp is recorded when the strongest signal is detected (when passing over the mat).

To ensure successful recording of individual times, please observe the following rules:

The bib number must be worn visibly throughout the race, on the abdomen/chest area. (Bib belt holders are allowed.) Covering or concealing the bib number is prohibited. Do not remove, fold, or pierce the chip located on the back of the bib number. Everyone should ensure that they wear their own bib number during the race. After crossing the finish line, please leave the timing point as soon as possible.

The 1st to 3rd place male and female athletes in the Vivicitta 10 km race will be awarded. The award ceremony will be based on the order of arrival at the finish line (gross time). The online results list may show different rankings based on net time.

1st to 3rd place wheelchair and handbike male and female competitors: material gift.

AFTER YOU FINISHED

The results will be continuously updated on the results list following the participants’ arrival at the finish line.

Participants without a placement number will appear on the results list if they do not have times recorded at one of the route checkpoints. Those who received a 10-minute time penalty for improper bib number wearing will have an asterisk (*) next to their name.

Order your personalized medal insert with your name and finishing time engraved in advance! 

The expected planned delivery time for the medal insert is no later than the end of the 4th week following the event’s closing date.

We’ll engrave your name and finishing time on a self-adhesive plastic tag. The tag fits perfectly into the recess on the back of the medal. You won’t need to search for money after the race, stand in line on-site, or wait for the medal to be engraved afterwards. We’ll create and mail the insert to you. When it arrives, just stick it on the back of your medal and your personalized keepsake of your achievement is ready.

The insert can be ordered online, along with your registration for the race, or in the „Products” section of the BSI registration system.

The price of the insert, including postage is 12 €.
