Together with your bib we will give you a bag (where you will put your clothes to carry at the finish) and a sticker with your bib number and the number of the truck in which you will deposit the bag. Fill in the label (specifying the telephone number to dial in case of loss of the bag) and stick it on the bag. You must hand in your bag to the truck by 07:45.

The times that the Pacemakers will follow are calculated in Real-Time i.e. from the moment they pass on the carpet under the starting arch. If you want to follow a Pacemaker, look for the stand set up in the Village, there you can meet ‘those to follow’ and ask them all the details about the course and the race. If you have not met the Pacemakers in the Village, you can still join them on race morning. You will recognise them by the uniform on which ‘pacer’ is written and by the coloured balloon with the finish time, which will make them visible from afar.
The pacemakers will meet on Viale di Porta Capena at 7.30 am.

The processing of the rankings will be taken care of by Evodata, using the chip that each athlete will find already attached to the bib and which MUST ABSOLUTELY NOT BE REMOVED until the end of the race.

The chip records the Real Time (which measures the time from the moment you pass the start line to the moment you pass the finish line). Only the Élite group will be classified with the ‘Official Time’ (i.e. the time measured from the start gunshot), all others will be classified according to ‘Real Time’. Real Time will also be taken into account for the awarding of exclusive adidas sports equipment and for the category awards.

Along the route you will find three refreshments, at km 5.2, km 10.5 and km 15.8. At these refreshments the athletes will also find toilet facilities. Each refreshment post has several tables on both sides of the route. In the event of overcrowding at the first tables, it is advisable to scroll forward to refreshment at the next ones.
There will also be a sponge bath at km 18.5.
