The participants who stated their shirt size take them immediately, while those who didn't, take them afterwards, chosing from the available sizes.
Labeling the luggage with numbers that the participants received from the organisor. Each paricipant will get 5 numbers with tags that they should carefully attach to their luggage (around the handle or some place visible). If the participant has more than 5 pieces of luggage, he/she should string two or more pieces together so that the complete luggage would be clearly labelled. The exact delivery that the participant chose during the accommodation reservation will depend on that.

THE BASIC RULES

It is necessary to respect the timetable for each activity (the time of departure, breakfast and dinner time, the break length, the morning delivery of luggage in the prearranged time for each location in the city we spend the night in...)

Every day, before the start, a short meeting will be held, where the organizers will inform the participants about the stage planned for that day (regarding the path, location ot the resting places, characteristics of the locations along the route, interesting objects etc.)

For each day the organizator has provided sandwiches and juice for each participant, which they will get around the middle of the stage.

During the stage, the participants should have a backpack (or a pannier) with a raincoat, basic tool (a pump, a spare tire etc) as well as food for that stage.

Information regarding the Čiker MTB marathon will be updated and promptly disposable for all interested participants on the club's site on the following address: www.cikermtb.com

If the interested participants have any question regarding the Čiker MTB marathon, they should first take a look at the disposed material which is already updated on web pages of the club Čiker (such as texts, photos, videos, forms, application forms, brochures etc) and only if they don't find the answer to their question, should contact us by e-mail, phone or some other appropriate way.

The members of the organizing committee will differ noticeably from the rest since. Only they will be in charge for any question or uncertainties which arise during the marathon. If any participant decides to act on his/her own or is talked into by an unauthorised person and so deviates from the agreed propositions of the marathon (such as riding on the path which is not the part of the projected track), he/she does it at his own risk.
