marathon promotes cycling as a sport that reduces air pollution and promotes a

track profile and other important parameters. Each participant has enough time to
ride at their own pace within the projected track, without the pressure that is
present in competitions.

The participants will need to accept the following statement upon applying for the
marathon:
''On the occasion of participation in the Čiker MTB Marathon 2024, which takes
place from 23 June until 2 July 2024 — I agree with the following
statement:
I am familiar with the propositions of the manifestation, traffic regulations and the
manner of safe use of tangible and intangible assets. I was informed by the
organizer of the event that I should not participate in marathon or some of the
foreseen tracks, unless I am physically and mentally ready to participate, that I
should choose a track that corresponds to my current abilities, and in that sense I
declare that I am physically and mentally prepared for the selected track, i.e.
marathon, and that I participate in the manifestation at my own risk. I also declare
that the organizer of the marathon will not be held liable in the event of injury, loss
of material goods and / or other material and non-material damages (fear, pain,
etc.) that occurs as a result of participation in the manifestation, and I completely
deny the right to claim damages in the aforementioned cases. By accepting this
statement, I confirm and accept responsibility for the consequences caused by my
behavior in terms of compliance with the provisions of the Law on Traffic Safety on
Roads and other legal and by-law regulations. I agree with the use of my name,
pictures and videos, etc. for the needs of marathon organizers on radio, television,
electronic media, newspapers, brochures, etc. without asking for any cash or other
remuneration, and completely waive the right to claim against the claimed basis.''
For the minors, this statement needs to be signed by parents or guardians.
In order for the application to be valid, it is necessary for the participants to fill in all
the fields with correct data, to pay the mandatory minimum part of the amount to
the club’s bank account by 05. June 2024. The data is not an optional but a
mandatory item, and is not just a formality as much as a real need/requirement.
The mandatory-minimum part of the amount is 6000 dinars and must be paid by
participants residing in the territory of the Republic of Serbia, while foreign
participants can pay the entire amount upon arrival in Kraljevo.
For obvious reasons, it is clear that for such a demanding marathon, the
participants should be prepared physically, despite the fact that this marathon does
not involve racing. Also, the type and condition of the bike are very important for a
seven-day ride on demanding terrain. The participant is obliged to prepare the
bicycle before the marathon and bring it to optimal condition, without defects and
worn parts that can be cause problems during the marathon itself. If the bike has
non-standard or rare parts, the participant should provide spare parts. For basic
repairs on a daily basis, the organizer has provided a service department.
The payment method will be thoroughly explained in the application process on the
Čiker website. In case the participant plans to ride less than 50% of the marathon
(expressed in number of days), the price of the registration fee can be reduced.
The percentage of fee reduction depends on the particular situation, and the
participants who believe that they have the basis for the reduction should send an
email with all the details. The organizer will inform the participants of the outcome
in a short time period.
All information regarding Čiker MTB marathon will be timely published on the site,
Instagram, Facebook pages and groups, including the application form, brochure,
GPS navigation trails, the possibility of purchasing food in the places through which
the marathon passes, as well as other relevant information for the participants.
