Participants in the 2022 Galaxy Entertainment Macao International Marathon can collect their bibs and information documents starting on Sunday, the Sports Bureau (ID) said in a statement yesterday.
The marathon is slated to be held on December 4.
The statement noted that the items can be collected from M/F of Broadway Macau until December 2 from 12 noon to 9 p.m. and 12 noon to 10 p.m. on December 3.

The representative must present his/her ID, the signed registration receipt, the participant’s ID copy and COVID-19 vaccination proof.
Moreover, the organising committee will provide free rapid antigen test (RAT) kits to participants. The statement pointed out that nucleic acid test (NAT) results are not required during bib collection, but the participants must complete an RAT on the race day and present a 24-hour valid negative NAT result before being allowed to run.
