However, the rankings will be based on the actual finish time and NOT on the net times.
If you decide to run a different distance on the day itself, you must inform the secretariat before the start.
Cut-off times
Consult the tab "program" for the time limits.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.
