RACE ANNOUNCEMENT

FIGHTERS' RUN CSOPAK DOG RUN SHORT DISTANCE

OCTOBER 13, 2024

TRAIL RUNNING WITH YOUR DOG

We return to the Balaton highlands with our autumn race weekend. You also loved Csopak in 2022 – and this time you can choose from an even wider range of events. Our race center is again in the Balaton Fun Park, in Nosztori.

For those who haven’t been here yet, we’ll tell you that this terrain is pleasantly languid, it doesn’t contain a crazy amount of levels. If you like to run with your dog, we invite you to a pleasant route in the Balaton highlands!😉

There are no Alpha and Beta heats here (and there will be no obstacles either), the number of participants will be maximized at 100 people and the first three female and male runners and their dogs will be awarded.

THE DOG RACE IS SAME WITH THE REST OF THE RACE…
✅ we are waiting for you with a RICH offer at the refreshment points on the track
✅ we reward you with a cool unique FINISHER MEDAL at the finish line
✅ we will also treat you to a delicious LUNCH at the goulash party after the race
✅ PHOTOS taken at the event are provided FREE OF CHARGE
✅ the same festival atmosphere awaits you as in the Fighters’ Run obstacle races
✅ participants can decide whether they want an event t-shirt made of MIZUNO technical material for their registration, accordingly we offer an ECO option without a t-shirt and a PREMIUM entry option with a t-shirt (not a Finisher t-shirt, so you definitely get it!)

We look forward to seeing you!

  • Start: between 10:30 and 11:30 depending on the total number of participants – the participating owners and their dogs start one by two, a maximum of 2-6 owner-dog pairs start in one minute, so the continuous flow on the course is ensured.
  • Start times: it is not possible to enter a specific time, the start times are determined depending on the number of participants; we provide a choice regarding the speed of progress, this is necessary so that the faster competitors do not run into the slower ones, as this can be unpleasant for everyone; you can choose from the following tempos when you register – we ask that you absolutely choose the option that corresponds to the tempos:
    • we are moving fast
    • we move at a medium pace
    • we are moving slowly
  • the participants will be invited to the start zone one by one, the exact start times will be published after the online registration closes, during the week of the competition;

REFRESHMENT

  • We have adopted a slogan and method that has worked well in our other events: BRING YOUR OWN CUP! Participants pour the hypotonic drink and water into their own cup, bottle, or liquid container at the refreshment stations. By this solution we significantly reduce the generated waste of our events.
  • Full refreshment:
    • At the Dog Run, there will be 1 refreshment stations on the course and one in the finish.
    • At these points, we offer <i:am> mineral+energy hypotonic sports drink. This product provides a balanced combination of carbohydrates, electrolytes, and water to replace all other refreshment solutions.
    • We provide normal and dried fruits, crackers, salt and water, of course.
