The Race Organizing Committee has developed an internal safety scale, according to which in case of severe weather phenomena, the Organizing Committee will act in accordance with the plan and require all participants to strictly comply with its requirements, namely:

1st level of danger – wind with a force of 7-9 meters per second – dismantling of inflatable arches, light structures (including mileage indicators), light awnings, promotional and photo zones.

2nd level of danger – wind with a force of 9.5-10 meters per second – dismantling of all awnings, photo zones, as well as dismantling of the crossbar of the start-finish arch.

The project manager will ask you to remove anything that may be dangerous. 

High probability of cancellation of children’s races. The decision to hold or cancel them will be made immediately before the start of the children’s races based on the actual weather conditions at that time.

3rd level of danger – wind with a force of 11 meters per second and more – a collegial decision to hold or cancel the Race will be made.

The committee in charge of making this decision consists of: Dmytro Chernitskyi, Director of the NGO “Run Ukraine”, Ivan Tretiakov, Project Manager, a representative of the SES in the region.

In case of an air raid warning, the Race is stopped. The Race will be resumed once the air raid warning is lifted (but in any case only during the daylight hours).
