Which system is used for time measurement?
Timing is provided by a passive timing system (UHF) from race result AG. Two transponders are integrated into the race bib for timing purposes.
Can I camp on-site in a RV or car?
Of course, there will be a campground again this year. In addition, we have several campsites and a grassy area for campervans, RVs, and trailers right next to the event. Camping costs €20 for the first night and €10 for each additional night per vehicle/tent—you’ll pay the fee on site. However, you must take your trash with you and dispose of it yourself. Open fires are strictly prohibited. You can find details on our site map.
Can I camp on site?
Yes! You're welcome to camp on site. We have a designated area for camping. Camping is free, and you don't need to register in advance! See the site map for details.
Can I transfer my spot to someone else?
Yes—you can do that up to 2 weeks before the event begins. We charge a processing fee of €20—just contact our support team.
Can I change my registration or switch to a different course or distance?
Yes, that is generally possible. Changing your registration from a longer route to a shorter one can only be done via email up to one week before the event begins. If you switch to a shorter route, the price difference cannot be refunded; instead, a €20 processing fee will apply. Upgrading from a shorter route to a longer one is possible up to one week before the event begins, provided you pay the price difference.
Can I cancel my registration?
You can cancel your registration in advance, but entry fees are generally non-refundable. Only in the event of an injury and upon presentation of a doctor’s note will we refund the entry fee up to 14 days before the event begins, subject to a 20 € processing fee. The refund will be issued to the original payment method within 14 business days of receiving the doctor’s note.
