I've received an email for the 2023 Kyiv Marathon. In addition to the virtual course there will be a marathon run in Kyiv on Oct 1st. The race rules has some interesting language regarding air raid alerts:

In case of an air raid warning, the Race is stopped. The Race will be resumed once the air raid warning is lifted (but in any case, only during the daylight hours).

Taking into account that the Race is held during the period of martial law throughout the territory of Ukraine, in the event of the announcement of the signal "Air raid in the city of Kyiv," the event will be suspended, the program of the event and the schedule of starts will be changed, and all participants must strictly comply with the requirements of the representatives of the Organizing Committee, must leave the territory of the event and go to the shelters, which are appropriately marked on the route map. After the signal "All sirens clear in the city of Kyiv," representatives of the Organizing Committee will make a decision on the possibility of continuing the event on the spot. The decision of the Organizing Committee and the updated Program of the Event will be announced to the participants within 10 minutes of the signal "All sirens clear in the city of Kyiv."

Announcement of the signal "Air raid in the city of Kyiv" before the start of the Competition.

In this case, the event will be suspended, and changes will be made to the race program and the start schedule. All participants must strictly comply with the requirements of the representatives of the Organizing Committee. The participants must leave the territory of the event and go to the shelters, which are appropriately marked on the route map.

After the signal "All sirens clear in the city of Kyiv," representatives of the Organizing Committee will make a decision on the possibility of continuing the event on the spot.

The decision of the Organizing Committee and the updated Program of the Event will be announced to the participants within ____ minutes from the moment of the signal "All sirens clear in the city of Kyiv."
