MORE INFORMATION

The Alpe marathon starts and ends in the center of city Kamnik. Straight after the start and until the railways crossing, all participants have to cycle at a slow pace. The timing of each cyclist starts after the raiways crossing. All participants must cross the checkpoint, and having done so, no further limitations or restrictions are placed on racers until they reach the finish line back in Kamnik. In the course of the marathon, racers who are not behind the lead racer for more than 60 min, are protected with mobile road closure (roadblocks).
