Runporto wants to continue providing races where people have fun and feel safe. The rules mentioned here can be considered strict and restrictive, but there is nothing more restrictive than the absence of the race.

Runporto, participants and auxiliary staff now have a new challenge. It is not enough to reach the goal. Now, we want to reach the winners goal, also about the virus. The responsibility belongs to all of us!

Everyone's safety is our priority!
