Each team receives  locally, a " picnic basket " - filled with cheese, sausage, fresh baguette, a bottle of red wine and jellybeans - for fast carbohydrate supply!

For those teams which prefer vegetarian food, there is, of course, a meatless version. Please, enter your preferred basket during the registration...

We would also like to fulfil all other nutritional requirements and wishes, but this is logistically not possible- Thank you for your understanding!

Additional bottles of wine can be added to your picnic basket by ordering them with your registration for €5.40 per bottle.

Always. Give. It. Your. All.
Your team will be giving it all for your relay. We will be giving it all for your team. Tents, food, drinks, and a great atmosphere. You can find out more about getting a team tent by contacting:

The team captain will receive an email with all of the relevant information for the team about a week before the event.

This email will include:

- the link to confirm your registration. This MUST be presented in order to pick up your race materials, so print it out as soon as you get it! 

- the login info to register the five relay team members. 

Please note:
Each participant can only run for one team on one segment of the race on raceday! 

Every team must bring a baton to pass on to the next runner.

The transitions are one of the highlights of the race. The more original they are, the easier they are for the teams to identify to ensure a quick transtion. There are no limits to the creativity.

Of course, if needed, you can borrow a "normal" baton on site.

The start will take place in three waves.

Tip: By starting in waves, the large field of runners will be spread out better along the course, which will help to prevent bottlenecks. In order to plan your transitions better, decide before the race which of the three waves the starting runner will be in.

The letter on your race number has a specific meaning:

"M" =  Mittwoch (Wednesday) 
"D" = Donnerstag (Thursday)
"F" = Freitag (Friday)

It has nothing to do with "men", "dames" or "females" and is completely gender neutral. :)

We have collected all important information under the point "Race Matrials and Change "

Every team must have a name!

It can be your club, company, or family name (if you all have the same name) or one your make up. Everything is allowed.

If you are registered as a company team, all of the participants must be company employees!

Timekeeping will be kept using the ChampionChip!*

No individual times will be kept, meaning there will only be a total team time.
Every team will get 2 loaner ChampionChips (plastic transponders) with the race materials, which the first and last runners must affice to the laces of their shoes (do not use metal, or the timekeeping will not work)

Chip Return

There are chip return centres in the finish area that will be open until about 10:30 pm. The Chips are single-use only, and must be returned immediately after the race. If a Chip is not returned by 10:30 pm, a fee of 25 Euros will be charged (invoice will follow after the event). 

Affixing the Chip

Please attach the Chip securely to the laces of the shoe (do not use metal, or the timekeeping will not work). To ensure that you do not lose them, please do not use velcro to secure the Chips.

Please Note

Fair play is expected from every participant. You must stay on the marked course. If you leave the course, you will be disqualified.
The race bib must be attached to your chest. If you alter the race bib in any manner you will be disqualified.
