It is the solely right of the Organizers to accept the registration of a person for the Marathon. The participation permission to the Marathon is valid solely for the participant for who it was issued originally and is not transferable to an other person, except if the Organizers transferring it to someone else. Thats why the participation permission to the Marathon cannot be sold between the participants like a ticket, it is valid solely for that person, for who the Organisers approved it. Paying/transfering/sending any payment to any of the Marathon traditional or internet bank account or with any money transfer service or in cash, or coming to the Marathon instead of somebody, but without being accepted by the Organisers prior into the Marathon will not authorize anyone to participate in the Marathon.

(Of course, the registration for couples will be possible also in this period.) In this case registrants of the gender in question will be redirected to the Waiting List. - The Waiting List works with first-in-first-out method: Who redirected to the Waiting List first will be accepted first, when a possibility opens to accept participants from the Waiting List. The Organizers have the solely right to decide about making exceptions on accepting registrants form the Waiting List. - If the places for participants on the Marathon, or a country quota has been filled up, we will redirect the new registrations to the Waiting List, and we will notify the registrants later, if we can let them in later. - After sending in the registration the registrant(s) will receive: a "registration number - registrant name(s) - registred to the Marathon" e-mail. This DOES NOT mean that the registrant(s) is/are accepted. This only means that we have received the registration with all data, and that we will notify the registrant(s) later, if we can accept him and/or her by sending the "Registration Accepted, Payment Request" e-mail. - If the registrant(s) did not receive the "Registration Accepted, Payment Request" e-mail within one week, it means he/she/they automatically redirected to the Waiting List.

After they accepted, to get confirmed and let in as a couple is possible only after we have received the full amount of the payment of the couple. If we have received just a part of the payment, it does not authorize any person from the couple to participate. - It is not allowed and not possible for any registrant to join as a partner and be couple registered with a previously single registered participant. - We handle a couple as one registration unit, so if any party cancels his or her registration from a couple, it means that the other party also cancels her or his registration. This is valid also after the couple has paid the registration fee and already confirmed. If the other party would like to participate, need to register again as a single or in couple with a new partner. In this case, if we can accept the new registration, we count in the already paid fee only for that person(s) who previously paid, and re-registred.
