Finishing together

All team members may cross the finish line together. Medals, drinks, fruit, pastries, massage and hot showers await you in the finish area.

Flexible changeovers

  • There are no compulsory changeover points: you decide when and where to change runners.
  • Official changeover stations mark convenient handover points along the course.
  • In principle, you may change runners anywhere, provided you are considerate of others.
