Distance change

First collect your starter pack and have your distance changed at the booth ‘changes name & distance’. Changing to a shorter distance is free. For a change from a shorter to a longer distance the difference in price will be charged.

Name change

First collect the starter pack with the confirmation email of the person whose registration you are taking over. Then change the personal data at the ‘changes name & distance’ booth.
Don’t forget to bring your ID. For a name change an administration fee of € 5 will be charged on site.

The organizer recommends that everyone avoid strenuous efforts for which they are not physically prepared. Make wise choices regarding the distance you want to cover and/or the pace you want to impose on your body.

If you want to perform sports at a high intensity, you should have yourself checked annually by a (sports) doctor. The presentation of medical certificates is not mandatory.

It is up to the athlete to decide how to deal with the information provided during a medical check-up.

The organizer bears no responsibility in this regard.

Do you feel sick, cough, sneeze or have a fever? Given the current health situation, we advise you to stay at home and not come to the event.
