Check-point are set up along the race route, that must be passed through in order. It is prohibited to leave the designated route.

The organisers reserve their right to check the passing of the participants even at unannounced check-points.

The race bib, that is handed out to every participant of the race, must be worn clearly visibly on the front of the runners' apparel. The race bib must not be modified or covered. Any runner taking off or covering his or her bib is considered as giving up the race and will not be ranked.

For refreshment we offer water, coke, fresh and dried fruits, bread, cheese, crackers and glucose to the runners. Isotonic drink is available at Spartacus kulcsosház. Since some of the refreshment stations are difficult to access and replenish, the organisers may limit the the refreshment allowance (especially water) if found necessary.

Shower and free massage is avalable for the runners at the finish. Massage is available in the order of arrival.

A competent first aid assistant is on duty during the entire event. Participants however are required to note that due to the features and properties of the terrain it may take significant time for the first aid assistant to get to an accident location. It is the ultimate obligation of every participant to take care of his or her and of the others personal safety, and to help their mates in emergency.

By entering the race the participants acknowledge that Börzsöny Night Run is run on difficult terrain, and succesful completion requires adequate physical and mental capacities as well as experience. The organiser may not be held responsible for any accident or damage attributable to any participant being unprepared, negligent or improvident.
