Walkers, Time Limits and Headphones:
Walkers are allowed only on the 5 km Energy Run course (if they are registered) with the only prerequisite being of finishing within the time limit of one hour (60 minutes). The time limit for the 10 km Energy Run will be 80 minutes so please be mindful that roads will reopen for the traffic at 09:30 a.m.
For your own safety, if you find yourself towards the back of your race through injury or tiredness but wish to finish, please continue on the pavement. These cut off times are enforced by the police so that roads can be reopened to the public in accordance with the event permits.
While the organisers of the Lakatamia Energy Run discourage the use of headphones, we do not impose a ban on wearing them.
Can a friend or a family member accompany me on the course with a bicycle?
No runner can be accompanied by a friend or family member on a bicycle. The roads are closed to ALL traffic and this includes bicycles too. Police Officers or Race Officials have the power to stop cyclists and have them detained.
The only exception to this traffic rule are the lead bikes/cars, ambulances, Police vehicles and a few cyclists wearing the official yellow jackets who are checking on the safety and welfare of all the runners on the whole course.
Will friends/family members be allowed to cross the finish line with their athlete?
Friends and/or family members are not permitted to cross the finish line or enter the finish chute with participating athletes. This policy allows each competitor adequate time to celebrate their accomplishment without interfering with other finishers and ensure the safety of all participants, volunteers, and fans. Athletes who choose not to respect the policy will receive an automatic disqualification (DQ).
