Information for Race Day

Running time is measured exclusively by means of an RFID transponder attached to the back of your bib number. Please secure the bib at chest level with safety pins. The bib number may not be kinked, covered, or altered, otherwise timekeeping cannot be guaranteed. Gun and chip times will be available in the results. Finishers who cross the start, finish, and all the control mats laid out on the course will be evaluated according to chip time (effective running time).

There is no extra fee for the transponder. It is not necessary to return the transponder.

Bag check is located in the underground garage at the International Congress Center. Remember to write your race number on your official starting bag before handing it in at the drop-off desk that corresponds to your bib number. (Look for signs indicating bib number ranges). It is not possible to drop off your bag at the marathon starting point! Bags must be picked up no later than 5 p.m.

The organizer is not liable for any damages or loss of personal items.

The starting line-up begins at 10.10 a.m. at Pieschener Allee (approx. 700m from the Congress Center).

3:00 hours corresponds to HM in 1:30 hours

3:30 hours corresponds to HM in 1:45 hours

4:00 hours corresponds to HM in 2:00 hours

4:30 hours corresponds to HM in 2:15 hours
