Starting number distribution for adult and children’s races will take place on Saturday, September 9, 2023, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at TC King Cross – the information desk for picking up starting numbers is located inside the center in the area near the mural (south side of the center by the inner entrance to Decathlon).

You do not have to pick up your starting number in person – someone can pick it up for you.

Timing and results processing:

Children’s races:

• For children’s races, timing is not performed, and a finish list (race order) is not created.
• In children’s races, we announce and award the winners of children’s races (the first 3 girls and the first 3 boys).

Adult races:

• Time measurement and processing of adult race results will be done electronically using disposable chips embedded in each competitor’s starting number.
• It is forbidden to fold starting numbers so as not to damage the chip embedded in them. Do not peel anything off the number!
• The race will have a so-called “gun start”, which means that all runners start at the same time, regardless of how far the runner is from the starting line. In the final results, competitors will also be able to access information about their “chip time”, but the official ranking is based on the “gun start”.
• The website www.utrka.com/utrke/kingcross/2023/rezultati/ allows you to follow the race results live. This means that immediately after crossing the finish line, the achieved result of each competitor will be visible at the specified address.
