Start Waves
The start is at 6 PM and follows a “buddy seeding” system. This means that those who plan to run faster position themselves at the front. Volunteers will guide runners at the start.
Entrance to the start area for Runner 1 and 2 (Green and Purple) is open from 5 PM tom 6 PM.
Entrance for Runner 3 and 4 (Blue and Yellow) will open around 18:10 (once all runners have started).
Runner 1: Green bib
Runner 2: Purple bib
Runner 3: Blue bib
Runner 4: Yellow bib
The colored race bibs make it easier for both runners and officials to ensure that participants are in the correct place when entering the start area.
