Health and Fitness
Each competitor is responsible for his/her own physical health and must ensure himself/herself that he/she is fit enough to compete at this type of event. Each competitor has to sign the statement attached to the accreditation that he/she is fully responsible for his/her good physical health and fitness and that the organizer does not take any responsibility for any accident caused by the competitor‘s physical condition during competition. All official participants of the competition are strongly advised to take out a medical insurance policy in their respective countries.
Transport
Transfer between Budapest Airport and Szeged is offered for parties larger than 3 persons arriving together at the same time for 35€/person/one way. Individuals and teams of 3 or less requiring transfer should contact the Organising Committee for a special price.
The city-centre of Szeged is about 7 kilometres away from the course. Transportation from downtown to the course and back is a problem for competitors without a car, so buses running on schedule will be organised from the city-centre of Szeged to the course and back.
Please don’t forget to indicate your need when you fill in the transportation form, if you plan to use this service.
Boat reservation
The Organizing Committee has a limited number of boats available for rental purposes (Nelo and Plastex brands). You may obtain rental boats by filling in the corresponding form and returning it by the 26th of June as indicated. Boat rental requests received thereafter will be considered, but the Organising Committee can not guarantee the requested brand or model and the rental prices double after the 26th of June. The deposit of the full total rental price has to be sent with the boat reservation form. Reservations without a deposit will not be accepted.

The “City of Sunshine”
Szeged is the biggest city of the southern part of the Great Plains, and serves as the seat of Csongrád County since 1962. It is also the administrative, cultural and business centre of the region. It is situated on both banks of the Tisza River. The biggest part of the city is on the right bank of the river, while the residential-type New-Szeged is located on the left bank, between the rivers Tisza and Maros. The microclimate of Szeged is varied and very specific to the region greatly affected by the Tisza. The ancient fauna of the once flooded areas have been relocated to the protected area of the Pusztaszer National Memorial Park by now. The Park also showcases the regional culture and includes the Fehér Lake. Szeged is known for the high amount of sunshine it receives and the fairly low precipitation. Within the continental climate it shows extremes in climate and temperature. Annual average temperature is 11,2 °C.
The number of the hours with sunshine totals more than 2100 annually. As Szeged gets the most sunshine among the largest cities of Hungary, it is often called ‘the City of Sunshine’.
