Article 3: Start
The start will be at 08:30 hours and the race will finish at 12:15 hours, the maximum official time to finish the race being 2h45:00 from the time the last participant leaves the starting line. Under no circumstances may this time limit be exceeded, and participants who do not comply with this time limit will be excluded from the race and the official classifications.
Blind athletes will start from the start line of their choice according to the time marked on their registration.
The decision to start does not affect in any way the complete and correct timing of all athletes, whatever the start they start from. The organizers reserve the right to make more starts, among others, for safety, organizational and/or logistical reasons. In this case, those affected will be notified in sufficient time for the correct organization and preparation of the race.

Article 4: Times
The only data that the organization will take into account when making the classifications of any category will be those provided by the runner himself/herself on his/her registration form.
The organization has reserved a Sub-Elite box for the participants who request it and accredit the following times: 30:00 in 10k, 1h05:00 in half-marathon, or 2h20:00 in marathon in the last two years (men) and sub 35:30, 1h15:30 or 2h35:00 (same conditions for women), and as long as they have been run in events of the official calendar of World Athletics in approved circuits.
There will be no personal refreshments or payment of expenses or fees for sub-elite athletes.
To do so, they must email: info@edreamsmitjabarcelona.es attaching their performance in an official event within the last year.

Article 5: Starting blocks
Every runner accepts the responsibility and the commitment to accept his/her starting field at the time of registration.

The participant will be able to modify his start box before January 12th 2025 by entering the management of his registration:
The start is structured in boxes. Each box is identified with a color and only those who have the race bib of the color of that box will be able to access them.

Registration for people with disabilities

There are two sporting categories with disabilities: visually impaired and intellectually disabled.
People with visual impairment: register online. They will be placed in the box they indicate when registering. To qualify for the classification and awards for visual disability, it is necessary to attach a copy of the accreditation card of the disability to promocioesportiva2@bcn.cat and info@edreamsmitjabarcelona.es after registering online.
The guides will go without a chip and must be duly identified, registering through info@edreamsmitjabarelona.es, indicating their details (name and surname, ID card, date of birth, personal telephone number and email address).

People with intellectual disabilities: register online. They will be placed in the box they indicate when registering. To qualify for the classification and awarding of prizes for intellectual disability, it is necessary to attach a copy of the accreditation card of the disability to promocioesportiva2@bcn.cat and info@edreamsmitjabarcelona.es after registering online.
*The awards ceremony for these categories will be held as long as a minimum of 3 athletes have finished. Prizes will be awarded on the day of the race. Please go to the podium area once the race is over to find out the first, second and third positions.

Article 7: Change of owner
Participants who wish to do so may change their name or bib/chip holder through our registration platform in the Manage your registration section:

If you are not going to run, you can transfer your bib and place in the race to another runner. The new runner will have to comply with all that is established in these regulations, by accepting the bib you will be accepting the contents of the same in its entirety. You must go to Manage your registration, Change of Owner, and indicate the details of the person to whom you are transferring your registration. The new participant will e-mail you with instructions on how to register. Once they have completed/paid their registration, you will receive a refund of the price paid for your registration minus €10. Your refund will be approved if the new runner completes his/her registration.

Unauthorized bib transfer From January 12th onwards, no changes will be made to the name of the runner.

The Organization reserves the right to make modifications to the exchange methodology.
Any attempt of transfer or direct sale between participants without following the established process may result in the invalidation of the participation of the original holder, and the organization reserves the right to exclude him/her from future editions of the event.

For legal and sporting reasons, but above all for security reasons, the bib may not be transferred to another runner without following the process established for this purpose and without obtaining the Organization's approval. In the event that the Organization becomes aware of this circumstance prior to the race taking place, the bib number that has been sold or transferred without authorization will be disqualified and the runner will not be able to take part in the race. In addition, and given the risk run by those who carry a bib without the knowledge of the organization and the distortion produced in the classifications, the details of the person who receives, transfers or sells it will be noted down, preventing their registration for the following 4 years, and informing other marathon, half-marathon and 10K organizations of their actions.

Article 8: Infringements and disqualifications
Runners who are not registered or who run without a race bib or with an unofficial race bib for this edition of the race will not be admitted by the organisers, preventing them from having access to the race in defense of the rights of those who are registered in accordance with the regulations. [Nor will elite athletes or athletes with a World Athletics Label category who register as popular runners be admitted. The participation of all elite athletes or athletes with World Athletics Label category must be expressly admitted by the Organisers].
In addition, unauthorised vehicles will not be allowed to enter for the safety of the runners. The judges of the race and the organisers reserve the right to disqualify any runner who is found to have committed any irregularity. This will be grounds for disqualification:
- Providing false personal data when registering (name, surname, age...).
- Failure to complete the entire course.
- Being overtaken by the closing vehicles of the race.
- Failure to pass through the checkpoints located on the circuit.
- Not wearing the race bib clearly visible on the chest or altering or hiding the advertising on it.
- Running with the bib and/or chip allocated to another runner.
- Failure to heed the instructions of the judges and/or organisers' staff.
- Having given the race bib to be photocopied and used by another runner.
- Refusing to pass the doping control.
- Unsportsmanlike behaviour.
- Any other punishable behaviour included in the relevant federation regulations.

Disqualified runners will not be eligible for prizes and trophies.

Given the serious damage that this would cause to the Organisation and to the other runners in the race, in the event of access to the race in breach of the established conditions of access or any irregularity being committed, the Organisation reserves the right to take the appropriate measures, in accordance with the applicable legislation. In this sense, the corresponding civil, criminal or administrative actions will be initiated to demand the responsibility of the offender.

Among the irregularities that will give rise to the initiation of such actions are (i) not being registered for the race and, therefore, not having a bib/chip to participate in the race; (ii) running with the bib/chip of a third party (without having made the change of ownership or carrying it concealed); (iii) running with a bib/chip that does not correspond to that of the race; (iv) running with a falsified bib/chip (photocopied document or one that imitates the bib). The aforementioned list is given by way of example and is not exhaustive, and there may be other irregularities that may give rise to legal action on the part of the Organisers.

Both those who commit such irregularities and those who collaborate with them in carrying them out will be identified as ‘offending runners’.

Those runners who are identified as ‘offending runners’ by the Organisation on the day of the race will be removed, identified and expelled by the security personnel of the race, in the exercise of their powers, obtaining identification data from them; photographs, etc., which will be used for the purpose of taking the corresponding legal action.

In the event that the infringement becomes known after the race has taken place, the appropriate action shall be taken at the time the infringement becomes known.

The ‘offending runners’ will be notified and/or summoned to the proceedings in which their possible responsibilities will be judged, so that they may be a party to them.

The organisation reserves the right to prevent registration in the future and to inform other races of the conduct of those athletes disqualified for not having completed the entire 21,097.5 kilometres of the course.

Article 9: Refund Guarantee
If you have taken out the Refund Insurance at the time of registration, you may request a 100% refund, excluding the insurance fee, up to 12 January 2025 (inclusive) for any reason whatsoever. No refund will be made for administration fees.
