The Hámornický polmaratón begins at the football stadium in Medzev, located in the Košice-okolie district of eastern Slovakia. The main race starts at 11:00 AM. This is a standard road half marathon, covering 21.095 km on asphalt. The event is organized by the Town of Medzev, the Municipality of Štós, and BK Spartak Medzev.
The race is a small, local event. One past edition recorded 86 finishers or entrants, not a large city crowd. Men compete in age groups ranging from younger seniors up to 60-plus or 70-plus categories. Women are placed in a single open category, and children’s races are also part of the program. Registration and check-in take place at the same football stadium starting in the morning. The on-site entry fee is listed as 5 €, with prizes including cash awards and cups. The event has been held for at least 13 editions, establishing it as a regular fixture for runners in the Medzev area.
