FAQ

How do I register for the race?

First you need to create/activate an account on sportid.online and then you can register for a race. If you are registering through the SportID system for the first time, select the option ACTIVATE YOUR ACCOUNT AND REGISTER FOR A RACE and fill in the required information to create a new account. If you have raced with us before and you enter the same information, you will receive a confirmation email at the email address you registered with in the past and your historical results will be uploaded into the system.

After logging into your SportID account, you can register for a race – choose your race / distance / additional services and complete your order. Logging in will be easier next time and you won’t have to re-enter your details.

What happens if races cannot be organised due to government regulations (e.g. an epidemic situation)?

If it is not possible to organize the races on the given date due to government restrictions, we’ll do our best to find another date for the races. Participants will be offered the option to transfer their race fee free of charge to this new date or to another race within the Běhej lesy series.

How do I register multiple competitors at once to get the discount?

Fill in your registration on sportid.online, complete your order and click “Add another runner” in the last step. This person must have an active SportID account. You, the second runner and every other runner get a cheaper race fee. Then proceed to payment and you will get the discount.

I’ve received a reminder for the race fee payment, but I’ve already made the payment. What went wrong?

It is possible that you did not enter the variable symbol (VS) in your payment and therefore the payment did not pair with your order. Please send us the payment statement and we will pair the payment with the order. You will receive an email after you have been added to the race entry list.

I have paid for the race fee but I am still not on the entry list. What went wrong?

In the case of bank transfer and card payment, some banks are slower at processing the transaction and it takes a while for the amount to be transferred. Wait for a few days and once we receive the race fee, you will get a confirmation email that we have put you on the entry list. If you are not on the list within a week, email us at info@behejlesy.cz.

What is a Tandem Team?

Form a mixed male-female pair (in any relationship) and decide who will run the longer course and who will run the shorter one. The pair with the fastest total time wins. But you don’t have to worry about your time too much, the competitors in the Tandem Team race are also scored in the individual race. More detailed rules can be found HERE.

What is a Slowmotion Team?

With Slowmotion teams, the goal is to form the largest possible group. Each person chooses the distance that suits them best. However, unlike Tandem, the goal is to achieve the longest total time. It is not necessary to run the race as slowly as possible, the number of team members is the factor to consider. The advantage is that there is no limit to the number of team members.
