Single postage stamp was issued also in 1997 on the occasion of IAAF World Half Marathon Championships in Košice.
Run with your name
All runners registered for Kosice Peace Marathon by the end of August will run with a BIB number containing their name and a flag of their country.
For this year organizers have chosen a new timing technology whith an integrated chip in a BIB number.
This new technology will help runners not to think about returning the chip so they can simply enjoy their time behind the finish line.
Those who do not register in time (by the end of August) have to hope that there will still remain some „blank“ BIB numbers in September.
