You can drop off your sports bag at the ‘sports bags storage’. A numbered sticker will be stuck on your bag. The same number will also be stuck on your chest number. After the run you can only get your bag back upon showing your race number with this sticker.

The organisation will take the necessary safety measures to guard the area as well as possible, but use of it is at your own risk. The organisation cannot accept any responsibility for possible damage, loss and/or theft of personal belongings.

Some recommendations:

  • Use a properly lockable sports bag and make sure it is also properly closed so that no items can fall out of your sports bag. Loose articles of clothing or plastic bags will not be accepted.
  • Do not leave any valuable items (such as Iphone, sports watch, wallet, etc.) in your sports bag.

Changing rooms for M/F are available for participants.
