To collect their race kit, participants must present their identity card (DNI) and printed or digital proof of registration.

Participants who have acquired a registration code but who for whatever reason have not completed the online registration process may only register during the Maratón Expo, without exception, by presenting the card with the original registration code and paying the sum of S/. 20.00 for administrative and late registration fees.

Please note that on the day of the event (May 17) race numbers, t-shirts and electronic timing chips will not be given out, therefore it is essential that all participants collect their race kits at Expo Maratón.

The event organizers will provide a “sweep-up bus” that will mark the end of the race (marathon and half-marathon). It may also be used as a transfer shuttle for athletes who have fallen behind and who, for whatever reason, do not wish or are not able to continue in the competition. They will only be transported until the finish line. The event organizers will not be held responsible for this courtesy shuttle service.

ARTICLE 12 Runner requirements

Participants should complete the entire course, passing through each one of the checkpoints, and in such a way that judges are able to read the race numbers. In the event there is no electronic record available at the starting line, finish line or at the checkpoints throughout the course, athletes will be obliged to verify where they passed and when. All participants must use the official Life Lima42k Marathon 2020 t-shirt, from the start until the end of the race. Only elite athletes and athletes running the distance of 42,195km are excused from this rule. Any participants who run without the official Life Lima42k Marathon 2020 number, do so under their own responsibility, and will not be entitled to any of the privileges to which officially registered athletes are entitled. Athletes without a race number will be removed from the course. Participants must behave appropiately, show good sportsmanship and respect the instructions of the judges, the organizers and the auxiliary event staff. The event organizers reserve the right to carry out anti-doping tests on any male or female participant who finishes their corresponding race. Refusal to take part in these tests will be grounds for immediate disqualification for the participant. In the case of an adverse (positive) result in the sample A anti-doping test, an email will be sent with this information and stating when the test was carried out. From this date, the athlete will have 30 calendar days to request the opening of sample B, and may set an opening day within 60 calendar days after the result has been communicated.

If the athlete does not meet the deadlines outlined above, it shall be understood that the athlete is waiving his or her right (to request the opening of sample B), and therefore the race leaderboard will be modified accordingly.
