The swimming track is marked by small stationary boats every 20-30 metres all across the lake that also ensure the safety of the competitors. When you reach the finishing line at Balatonboglár your bar code is scanned and the race is completed. They offer you refreshment here. Everybody who completes the distance is awarded a T-shirt created for the occasion, and a prize draw follows the competition with gifts, and, in the afternoon, there'll also be cultural programs. Medical assistance is available on the beach.
For the day of the competition we run chartered ferries between Révfülöp and Balatonboglár available for anyone against a return ticket. The competition’s bar coded wrist band qualifies you for a free ride back to the start at Révfülöp. You can check your results on sarkany.hu/balatonatuszas
