Frequently asked questions

Can the list of registered participants be tracked somewhere?

Yes, it will be available under the menu items on the website, and we update it regularly.

Can points be redeemed in the Ötpróba system?

There is no option to register for Ötpróba on the children's and charity distance.

From when to when will the city be closed?

Traffic restrictions on Nagyerdei körút (in the section by the Idősotthon) will already begin the day before the event, on Saturday. Along the race route, residents of the city can expect road closures from around 6:00 AM on April 4 until the end of the race (expected to last until around 2:00-3:00 PM). We will provide accurate and detailed information about this in the weeks leading up to the race, through our own channels (website, Facebook) as well as through local media.
There will also be changes to public transport: some bus routes will already run on diversion routes on Saturday, and the tram will operate in sections. For up-to-date and accurate information, please follow the announcements from DKV and the organizing team!

Where can I park nearby?

On race day (April 4, 2027), the University of Debrecen will open its parking lots to event attendees at the Nagyerdei campus (Clinical Center - this is the closest to the race center), the Egyetem tér campus (6-8 minute walk), and the Kassai út campus (10-12 minute walk).

Can I accompany my child in the children's and charity run?

Yes, but only with a valid registration and bib number purchased specifically for that race (children's and charity distance).

Will there be changing rooms, mobile toilets and a baggage storage?

Yes. Baggage storage, toilets and changing facilities (separate women's and men's changing tents) will all be available at the race center (Hall, Nagyerdei Stadium north event area). Mobile toilets will also be available at the Hatvan utca refreshment station.

What happens if I don't receive a confirmation of my registration?

You will need the QR code from your confirmation email in order to collect your race pack. If this confirmation email is missing, please be sure to contact our back office team (info@debrecenmaraton.hu). The most common cause is a typo in your email address when submitting your registration (which means you won't receive our email).

Will there be somewhere for spectators arriving at the venue to sit?

Yes, we provide seating for spectators both on the mini grandstand set up next to the start/finish zone and in several locations at the race center (e.g. also inside the Hall).

Can I register on the day of the race?

Yes, however registration always closes 60 minutes before the start of the given race.
