Pick up bib number and T-shirt
Bib numbers are not sent in advance and can only be collected from the race secretary on the day of the race. You will receive your bib number by email a few days before the event and you can also view it on the list of participants that comes online at the same time as the mailing.
You will receive all extras you ordered (such as a T-shirt or eco-cup) together with your bib number. It is possible to pick up the numbers of your family and/or friends. You must report all last minute changes in distance to the secretariat.
Change name, distance and / or cancel
Changing your distance, buying a T-shirt, adapting your data and even canceling it can ONLY be done through your SQM Time account. So you do this all by yourself!
After you have logged in, search for the relevant order and change the details. If your new data results in a lower cost price, your account will be credited and you can use that amount for another registration. If your new information leads to a higher registration price, you still have to pay that amount to complete the change.
If you wish to cancel, your account will be credited in accordance with our cancellation conditions. You can then spend this amount on another registration later.
Attention: Please check the conditions of the organizer to find out until when you can cancel and how much your account will be credited !
Showers - Dressing rooms - Bags drop-off
There are changing rooms and showers.
Attention: If your shoes aren't clean, you can't enter the changing rooms. Think about the other participants who also wants to change clothes in a clean room. Wash your shoes before you enter!
You can hand in your sports bag at the 'storage of sports bags' stand.
Make sure you bring a well-closing bag because loose pieces or open bags are not accepted.
Your bag will receive a number, which will also be noted on your chest number. You will not get your bag back without a bib number!

Time registration / Live coverage

There are 1 or 2 timing chip(s) on the back of your bib number. Do not fold the chip(s) and make sure you wear your bib number above your clothes on your stomach or chest. The chips ensure that your (split) times are registered when you pass a checkpoint.
Control points are scattered throughout the course, usually at the supply point. Some checkpoints beep as you pass through them, but not all. Don't panic so if you don't hear anything, you will be registered anyway.
All intermediate times and end times of all participants can be followed live online on the SQM Time website. On the day of the event, the result can be followed live via www.sqmtime.com/live . Via this live coverage, supporters can follow the progress of their favorite runners on the spot via their smartphone. The fans at home can of course also follow everything closely.
There are even participants who like to see during the race how much position they are in and how much time their buddy is ahead or behind!
Podium / Prize allocation
The prizes will be awarded during an award ceremony near the finish area.
The exact hour will be decided on the day itself and communicated by the speaker or the race director. The ceremonies are held approximately 15 minutes after the arrival of the 3rd finisher.
There are no age group podia, only overall for men and women.
