Timekeeping is carried out exclusively by using the MIKA TAG. For timekeeping, 2 transponders must be attached to the side of the helmet and the measurement takes place when passing through the timing device consisting of side antennas positioned at the start and finish. No ground antennas are used for timekeeping. As the MIKA TAG is a "disposable transponder", there is no need to return it. There is also no rental fee, as the costs are already included in the participationfee.

In order to guarantee a timekeeping the MIKA TAG should not be bent.

Before you start with the registration, we would like to ask you to take 2-3 minutes of time to protect your health by completing our non-binding and free health check.

Regular physical activity has a positive effect on your health. However, sport is no guarantee for a risk-free state of health. Familial risk factors, but also lifestyle-related risks are not always in direct correlation with your training condition and should be known in advance. Therefore, please be honest with yourself when answering the questions.

With the PAPS test, we want to help you become aware of your own state of health—there are no consequences for your eligibility to participate. The recommendation at the end of the test is made available to you for your personal and voluntary further use. The PAPS test does not replace a visit to the doctor and cannot provide 100% certainty of an existing or emerging risk.  The collected, non-personalized data will not be handed over to the organiser. The data may be used in anonymised and encrypted form for scientific purposes by the Medical Board of SCC EVENTS. 

During an event, we and various institutions such as the police, fire brigade or medical aid organisations often receive search requests for the whereabouts of missing runners and skaters. In order to be able to answer these as quickly as possible and in compliance with data protection laws, we ask you to list one or two contact persons here, to whom we may provide information should they request info as to whether you are undergoing medical treatment in a hospital.

We require the surname, first name and telephone number of the contact persons. 

Please understand that in case of inquiries – whether by telephone or at the information points in the finish area – we are only allowed to give information to the persons you have personally authorized with your registration.

The registration of an emergency contact is voluntary.

The medical care is in the responsibility of the medical team from the organzier as well as from additional paramedics. The assigned staff is authorized and obligated to remove runners from the race who are hurt or overexerting.

Every person who decides to run in a marathon should undergo a medical check at least ones a year.
