How is it possible?

"Nocna Sciema" is a marathon (42.195 km) and half marathon (21.097 km) - long run. The event takes place at the night when we switch our clocks from daylight-saving time to winter time. This transition gives us one-off possibility of achieving fantastic results that would not be attainable at any other moment. Because we move our clocks back during our run we gain one extra hour.

"Nocna Sciema" starts exactly at 2 am. An hour later we change our clocks back to 2 am. In the case of half marathon it turns out that we can cross the finish line soon after 2 a.m. while the marathon can we completed even before 4 am. This way beating the world record becomes doable.
