Race regulations

A. Application
competition rules of the Athletics Union shall apply, except to the extent that they are deviated from in these general conditions. The competition rules of World Athletics apply, except to the extent that the competition rules of the Athletics Union or these general conditions deviate therefrom. Both competition regulations are available for inspection at the Organiser and will be sent to the Participant by the Organiser at his request.

B. Categorization (gender/age).
The actual allocation of a starting area and its classification will be made by the Organizer. The Participant must check before the Event whether the classification assigned to him by the Organiser is correct. The Organiser is not liable for the consequences of an incorrect allocation of the Participant. The Participant is required to be present in the relevant start sections at least fifteen minutes before the start.

C. Honorary Prizes
Each Participant that reaches the finish line in time will receive a commemorative medal. A Participant is not entitled to a prize if he has acted in violation of the competition regulations. Participants who cross the finish line after the deadline will no longer be included in the race result. An awarded prize must be returned to the Organizer if, after it has been awarded, it appears that the Participant has acted in violation of the race rules.

D. Determination of Results
The organizer shall determine the results and is entitled to change the results after inaccuracies have been found. An awarded prize must be returned to the Organiser by the Participants if, based on the results, there is no longer any right to that prize after it has been changed. The gross time is the official time.

E. Manner of movement
Participants must move forward on foot over the course set by the Organization, in a manner customary for road athletics and according to the rules of the Athletics Union and World Athletics.

F. Starting Position
the actual allocation of a starting square to a Participant will be made by the Organiser. The Organiser reserves the right not to recognize times.

G. Starting Numbers
The participant will receive from the Organizer at least one start number on which the start number assigned to him/her is indicated. The Participant must attach the start number on his/her chest (if made available also his/her back) using the safety pins distributed by the Organiser.

The start numbers must be attached and worn in such a way that the start number and other information depicted on them are visible. They must not be cut or folded. The Participant is prohibited from wearing start numbers other than those provided to him/her by the Organizer. The Participant is urged to indicate any medical information on the inside of the start number (for one start number on the back of the chest start number and two start numbers on the inside of the back start number).

The Organiser will take the starting numbers of Participants who have been disqualified or otherwise dropped out.

H. Time records
The Organiser shall determine the finish time and the intermediate times (if any) of the Participants. This determination is binding. The time registration takes place using the MYLAPS BibTag. This is a time registration chip attached to the back of the race number. The Organiser can only register the times of the Participant if it is worn correctly.

I. Deadline/last runner
In connection with the clearance of the traffic course, the Participant must have crossed the finish line within a certain time limit after the start, otherwise, he/she will not be included in the results. Participants who cross the finish line after the deadline will not be included in the race results. The judgment of the Referee 'last runner' appointed by the Organiser shall be binding in determining whether a Participant has passed a particular point in time. For race athletes, the limits for inclusion in the race results apply following the race regulations.

I. Disqualification/withdrawal from the contest
The Organiser is entitled to disqualify a Participant and/or remove him from the competition if he does not comply with these competition regulations or behaves in an unsportsmanlike or improper manner or if this is deemed necessary on medical grounds or in connection with an orderly course of the Event.

J. Instructions for competition management
Participants must follow the instructions of the Organiser or of persons who, based on their clothing or other appearances, clearly belong to the organization of the Organiser.

K. Other provisions

• The Participant is prohibited from accepting care (drinks, food, sponge, etc.) from anyone at any place other than a care station set up by the Organiser;
• The Road Traffic Act and the legislation based on it, such as the Traffic Rules and Traffic Signals Regulations, will also remain in force during the Event on the entire course;

• It is not permitted during the Event to express explicit political, philosophical, or religious views or to make statements that could be perceived as offensive, hurtful, or insulting in any way;
• It is not possible to drop off garments at the start. Participants are therefore advised to come to the start area in running clothes. The Organizer accepts no liability for lost garments or other property of Participants. This also applies to items left behind in the changing facilities provided by the Organiser. The Participant is reminded that this accommodation is not guarded by the Organiser;
• The Participant is expected not to damage the property of others and not to leave any trash behind;
• Cancellations and/or changes to entries must be made in writing to the organization;
• If a participant fails to meet the financial obligation for participation on time, the organization reserves the right to remove that participant from the participant file.
