Start Card und race material

Start Card
We will send you your Start Card and all important information about your participation by e-mail on December 27th.

Race material pick up
You can pick up your race material on the day of the event (31.12.) from 10:00 am at the Mommsenstadion. Please make sure you are there on time. You will need your photo ID and Start Card to collect your race material.

Bib number

Your bib number is personal and may not be changed or passed on. The number must be worn clearly visible on your chest during the race.

Time keeping & Time limit

Timekeeping is done with a transponder, which is attached to the back of your race number. To ensure the functionality of the transponder, the race number must not be bent or damaged in any other way. The time is measured as usual by running over the measuring mats at the start and finish. As this is a “disposable transponder”, there is no need to return it.

The time limit is 1:30 h after crossing the start line.

Refreshments

Water, tea and the long-awaited “Pfannkuchen” await all participants in the finish area.

Reusable Cup

This year we only use reusable cups to supply participants.
Therefore, please use only ONE reusable cup and have it refilled. Please return your cup at the refreshment station or in the green, labelled return bins.

Changing rooms & Showers

On the day of the event, we offer numerous changing facilities in the Mommsenstadion. There will be no supervised clothing drop-off.

Showers will not be available.

Medals, Certificates & Results

A medal awaits all finishers at the finish line. Furthermore, there will be “Pfannkuchen” (Berlin donut) for you in the finisher area.

The results will be available online on the evening of the event. You can also download your finisher certificate from the results list.

Awards

Prizes will be awarded to places 1-3 (male and female) in the 6.3 and 10.2 km races.
There will also be an award for the most original costumes worn by children and adults.
