The reward can include good feeling, togetherness, inner satisfaction, pleasure, happiness… each volunteer has his/her own reason.

You can also become a part of the Cross Lozorno race and help us with the organization, trail marking, refreshment – hand a glass of water and save life, at the registration, or kid runs… We’ve got a job to do for everybody.

As a reward for your help, you can get the starting fee for 2025 with the discount of 50% for you or your friend, a Cross Lozorno T-shirt, and meals and drinks during the whole event.

The race is aimed at involving inhabitants of Lozorno and adjacent villages in doing sports in the nature. The dam is a landmark of the municipality of Lozorno in the beautiful surroundings of the Little Carpathians and the race will thus take place around the dam in the adjacent forests starting and ending in the beautiful environment of Abeland – a farm village.

Every finisher receives a commemorative medal. The medals were designed in an eco-friendly manner, so they are unique, handmade of materials that would otherwise be deposited in a dump.

Each race will have its own trophies and medals designed in cooperation with the sheltered workshop Dom Svitania (House of Dawn) in Jakubov. Every medal is made of unused materials that would otherwise be deposited in a dump.

The trophies are of special importance for us. Each race will be characterized by a trophy: Skala (Rock), Červený domček (Red House), Priehrada (Dam), Zapadnutý kút (Remote Corner), and Dračí dub (Dragon’s Oak). We would like thus to point out the nature we live in. The sheltered workshop was engaged because, in our opinion, the money earned for their production is of special importance for them and will be used in a proper manner.

Kids are important for us; along with edible medals, they will also receive special packages and sport books for their next activities.

The race is not just about racing, performance, and rivalry; it is also about spending time with families in the nature. The time spent in the nature helps us both from the mental and physical points of view, but, at the same time, makes us think about how we act towards the nature, our neighbourhood, and our planet. We are creating a friendly community of runners who train together and help each other when conducting various projects in the field of nature protection and helping others.

On-line registration at www.behcrosslozorno.sk The registration will be over on 17 May 2024 at 23:59 or at the moment of reaching the maximum limit of participants (300). If the limit of participants is not reached, you can register even after this date on-site on the date of the race. Once your registration is completed and your starting fee is paid, you can find your name in the list of registered runners immediately and you will be sent a confirmation e-mail.

A runner is not registered unless he/she pays the starting fee.

The starting fee can be paid via a card or via a bank transfer.

The electronic time measuring will be provided by SunBell s.r.o. – VysledkovyServis.sk. The results will be published continuously at www.vysledkovyservis.sk.

Every runner shall have his/her starting number attached to his/her chest so as to be visible and uncovered, otherwise your time might not be recorded. Your starting number is a property of the organizer. Starting numbers may not be transferred onto another person without the consent of the organizer. If a runner starts the race with a starting number assigned in the start list to another runner, the former will be disqualified.

If you put your stuff in the storage, you can take or leave it upon your starting number.

All trails are duly marked with colour flags and ribbons. Ribbons in the form of tapes can be found on the trees and branches, flags are stuck in the ground and in fallen trees, yellow arrows show the way, and the paths to be avoided which could make runners confused are blocked with white-red tapes. Curves are marked with at least three flags indicating the run direction. There are also volunteers along the trail showing runners the right way. However, most of the trails run along the marked hiking trails.

To classify a runner into the age category, his/her age reached in this year is decisive regardless of the day and month of birth.

(That means, if there is, e.g., an M40 category, “men older than 40” is not enough for the description; you have to specify the exact range of years of births since if a runner reaches the age of 40 in July and the race is in May, he might wrongly understand that he belonged to the category of men under 40 but it is not true whereas the sentence above applies.)

It is set for CLZK 26.3 km, CLCD 10 km, CLS 17.7 km & CLR 3×4.8 km, CLP 4.8, CLDD 6,2 km, 300 participants altogether.

If this is the case, participants will not be entitled to any refund of the starting fee or its part since the costs for preparation of the event have already occurred to the organizer at the time before the moment of the interruption/cancellation. After taking all circumstances into account and calculating costs relating to the event preparation, the organizer can refund runners a part of their starting fees, indeed, or transfer it to another year.
