2. Do you experience chest pain during physical activity?

3. Have you had chest pain in the past month, even without physical activity?

4. Do you lose balance due to dizziness or have you ever lost consciousness?

5. Do you have any bone or joint problems that could worsen with exercise?

6. Have you had a fever or viral illness in the 2 weeks before race day?

7. Is your doctor prescribing medication for blood pressure or heart conditions?

8. Do you have breathing difficulties, especially in cold or dry conditions?

9. Are you pregnant?

10. Are you diabetic?

11. Is there any other reason why you should avoid physical activity?

If you answered Yes to any question, consult your doctor before participating. While running is generally safe, long-distance races can pose risks, especially if you have existing medical conditions. Only your doctor, familiar with your health and history, can advise you on whether it’s safe to participate in BRC TATA STRUCTURA MARATHON.

We urge all runners to take responsibility for their health by adopting proper training, nutrition, and hydration practices. Fill in your emergency contact details on the back of your bib, including allergies or medical conditions, and ensure your contact person is reachable on race day and not participating.
