RUN RESPONSIBLY
Since many races are still not held, they are canceled, the Banja Luka Half Marathon decided to continue with its edition of Virtual Races. We noticed that it was interesting for you to send photos, follow the results, win prizes. Those things remain, and we have introduced some new ones. Take a look at our INFO page. The rules are the same, we want to motivate you to run safely and stay in shape first of all. Now that the number of people infected with the virus is growing, the question arises whether to go to races "live", where there are a lot of people and there is practically no social distance. We offer you a safe alternative, we motivate you to run alone or in a small group.
Apply for one or more Virtual Races that we organize and see for yourself the high level of our organization.
Almost 400 of our finishers will testify that this is a good party!
COVID-19 TIMES
As we promote running and all the benefits of running from the mental to the physical, we advise you to still keep the distance and follow the advice of your competent epidemiological institution.

What is the Virtual race?
What is a Virtual Race?
A virtual race can be run whenever it suits you, but has to be ran within a certain period of time. This cycle ends on August 9, 2020.
What are the distances one can run?
The distances are all the four IAAF long distances: 42,195m(marathon), 21,1km (half marathon), 10k and 5k. Because timing is done with GPS connection we "added a bit" to the distances: marathon at least 42,600m (26.5 miles), half marathon at least 21,300m (13.25m), 10k - 10,150m (6.3 miles), 5km - 5,100m (3.2 miles).
Where can I run a virtual race?
You can run a virtual race on an AIMS certified course, on an a track, or anywhere you choose. Your virtual race must be done with one of the applications: STRAVA, RUNKEEPER, ENDOMONDO, GARMIN. We must have access to your time from which we can see when, where (map), and how long you ran the selected distance.
Why run the Virtual Race?
The race is international in nature, so when you run the Virtual Race you become part of a racing community outside your city, or region. In current times, when virtually all events are cancelled, you have the opportunity to compete and keep your motivation to stay in good mental-physical shape.
We publish the results regularly on our website.
Our mission is to further motivate people of all ages to start and keep running. Join and do your part!
What do participants get?
Each participant will receive a finishers medal (send by mail), an online certificate and a bib number that you will be able to print out, attach to your running shirt and thus run the race. Photos of you with the bib number that you send us we will post on our web channels. You can also send us a max 5 second video. We also offer a package that includes a top technical T-shirt
Are there any rewards?
Commodity prizes will be provided for the top 5 places in the general men’s and women’s categories for all distances.
This time we introduced a novelty and in a way equalized the competitors regardless of their age. Your time spent in the race will be recalculated in relation to your age. When someone 25 years old runs 5 km in 20 minutes, it is not the same as when someone who is 60 does the same. The RuBundle website has a scientifically developed calculator that we will use when processing the results. You can find more information on our INFO page
