One bag per participant. We will only accept bags that are accompanied at the EXPO.
Timing
The timing chip is built into the race bib. Mats will be located at the start/finish line where participants will run over. No race bib = no time. Each chip has a number in our database which is linked to an individual runner. Timing starts when a participant runs over the mat and finishes when he runs over it again when finishing the race. Chip time therefore gives an accurate time for the assigned runner regardless of his position at the start.

Pace area
It is important that participants estimate their running pace and place themselves in the appropriate pace area at the start. This is done to avoid congestion and collisions during the first kilometres. Flags will be on the side of the start area indicating the estimated finish time
Those who are not sure how fast their running pace will be should choose to start in the backmost area.
On race day all participants should be able to find their appropriate area according to the plan
