A non-mandatory Race Briefing will take place on Friday at 18:00 at Námestie sv. Trojice in Banská Štiavnica.

During the briefing, all courses will be presented, including any possible changes. The race procedure will also be explained, and athletes will have the opportunity to ask questions.

The pre-start race briefing is mandatory and will take place a few minutes before the first start of each race. Please pay attention to the announcer, who will communicate the exact times.

Please check the current event schedule in advance to confirm the start time of your category.

Elite athletes will start from the pontoon. Age-group athletes will start in the water. Please listen carefully to the Head Technical Official for all pre-start instructions.

In the event of an individual false start, a penalty will be issued. In the event of a mass false start that significantly affects the race, the start will be repeated.

Free shuttle bus service will be available for athletes on race day. The shuttle will run between Banská Štiavnica and Banský Studenec every 60 minutes.

The bus will depart in Banská Štiavnica and will arrive in Banský Studenec at the official parking lot. You can find the exact depart location here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/eK7Mw8B6mgc9VciU7.

Athletes who do not meet this time limit will be disqualified by the technical officials.
