Our team always strives for improvements to provide a great racing experience for athletes, spectators and the local population. Due to the ongoing pandemic, the 2021 event will look different than in previous years. While our goal - to enable great racing experiences - is bigger than ever, the protective measures in place mean some changes for this year's event to ensure safety for everyone. Access to official event areas is only possible for people with valid 3G proof (vaccinated, tested, recovered) and after successful registration. We ask all participants and viewers to adhere to the applicable measures and thus contribute to a successful event. At this point we would like to thank our partners, sponsors, the communities involved and volunteers in particular - because without them such a race is not possible. After this difficult time, we are happy that the event can finally take place again. After the hard training and the long preparation, it is finally not far to race day. Enjoy the racing experience and don't forget to smile when you cross the finish line. We wish all participants a successful and unforgettable race day. See you soon at the finish line!
