• Starting time CharityRun 10K

  When registering, you choose an individual start slot according to availability. The starting slots are not divided according to performance. The distribution of runners on the course is even, so that in each start slot are the same conditions. It does not matter for your own performance in which start slot you start. There are no pacemakers in the CharityRun 10K.

  To qualify in the special performance slot (start 12.58 p.m.), proof of an official result in the last three years is required.
