START WAVES
Start Waves Arrangement
The arrangement of the start waves is determined based on your expected finish time provided in the registration form. Due to the production of the race numbers, it is only possible to enter your expected finishing time until February 1st. After this, all participants are automatically assigned to the last start wave. Please note: changing the start wave is then no longer possible. You may always start in a later start wave. The compartments are indicated by color. In which starting box you should start is indicated on your bib number by the color of the starting box.
Fast starting pen
Do you have a finish time that you ran after March 1, 2024, and it was timed by MyLaps? You can enter your finish time on the registration form. Based on all registrations, the fastest runners can be placed in a fast starting pen. If you don’t enter an expected finish time when you register, you will automatically be placed in the last starting pen.
To promote flow on the course, you are assigned to the start wave that is stated on your bib number. It is no longer possible to change your start wave. Make sure you are lined up in your start box at least 15-30 minutes before the start.
