You are urgently requested to complete the medical passport on the back of the bib number for your own safety. You must wear your bib number on your chest. The bib number is personal and non-transferable. In the event of an emergency, your bib number serves as a medical passport.

Can I transfer my bib number?

We offer all individually registered participants the opportunity to transfer their starting ticket (including any additional purchased products) to someone else. The administration costs for the transfer are €3,-. You can transfer your bib number to someone else by logging into your dashboard and following the steps.

Are you transferring your starting number on or after 6 April? Then you are responsible for physically transferring the starting number.

In which starting box do I start?
For the various distances, we work with startwaves and start boxes. The division of the start waves and starting squares is determined on the basis of your expected finishing time in the registration form. You will receive the classification of your start wave and start section by e-mail before the event.

Due to the production of start numbers, it is possible to enter your expected finishing time until 3 April. After this, all participants are automatically assigned to the last start wave. Please note: changing the start wave is then no longer possible. You can always start in a later start wave.

What are the time limits of the Utrecht Marathon?

• Utrecht Science Park Marathon: 5:30
• HiPRO Half Marathon: 2:30
• GenDx 10 KM: 1 hours and 20 minutes
• Utrecht Science Park Mini Marathon: 20 minuten

Participants who cross the finish line after the time limit will no longer be included in the race results and will not receive a medal.

Is there time registration?

There is an electronic chip (Tag) and a plastic spacer on the back of your starting number (Bib). BibTag makes registering your times very easy, all you have to do is wear your starting number correctly.

Information to ensure good time registration:

• Wear your starting number visibly on your chest. Do not cover the bib number with a jacket or with your hands while passing the mats at the start and finish line. These mats receive the signal from your BibTag (also pay attention to pressing your own stopwatch on the start and finish line).
• Do not fold or wrinkle the bib number. Certainly not where the Tag is.
• Use four pins on the corners of the starting number, do not pierce the Tag.
• Do not remove the plastic spacer.

The Tags do not have to be taken back after the race, you can keep the bib number (with Tag) as a souvenir or throw it away with the normal waste (plastic).

What is the official result?
The official result is based on the gross time. This time starts when the starting shot is fired and stops when the runner crosses the finish line.
In the results you will also see the net time, this is your personal finish time. The net time is the time that starts when you pass the mat on the starting line and stops when you pass the finish mat.

Where are the toilets located?
You will find toilets at the start, along the course and at the finish.

Good preparation is essential to participate responsibly in the Utrecht Marathon. In addition, it is important that you listen carefully to your body during and after your running performance. On this page, read all the advice that will help you enjoy the HiPRO Utrecht Marathon well prepared.

What care will I receive along the way and after the finish?

See below for each distance what care you get.

Keep packages of gels and the like with you and do not throw them away on the street. Dispose of packaging and empty cups in the appropriate waste bins, which can be found at the feeding stations and after the finish. Together we keep the city clean!

Participants of the Utrecht Science Park Marathon, HiPRO Half Marathon, GenDx 10 KM, Zorg van de Zaak Business Runs and Utregse Studentenbokaal will receive water, Powerade recovery drink and a HiPRO Protein Bar after the finish.
