Re-registration is possible until February 14 at 17:00 via the self-service portal. Participants can change both their name and distance. If switching from a shorter to a longer distance, or if a discount no longer applies, the difference in entry fees must be paid. In other cases, no additional re-registration fee applies.
Transport and Buses
Shuttle buses will operate from Tartu and Otepää. A seat on the bus is guaranteed with a pre-purchased ticket, which can be bought online or at Tartu Laululava when picking up the bib number (February 13 from 12:00 to 19:00 and February 14 from 10:00 to 19:00).
- One-way ticket: €6
- On race day (purchased on the bus): €10
When purchasing a ticket, check the departure time corresponding to your start and arrive a few minutes early. Buses will leave exactly on time. Return tickets must be purchased separately. Buses from the finish area will depart on the hour.
On-Site Catering
During the marathon, our café will be open, offering freshly baked pizza, pancakes, and other snacks to keep you energized.
