On the back of your race number you will find your personal emergency assistance pass. Please fill it in legibly with a waterproof pen so that help can be provided quickly and specifically in an emergency.
The race number must be worn clearly visible on the chest - do not cover or fold it.
Important: The race number is personal and non-transferable.
During the run
To ensure that all children can take part in the Kids and Bambini Cup safely and enjoyably, we ask for the following behaviour on the course:
- Run with consideration: pay attention to other children around you - please avoid jostling or pushing. Everyone runs at their own pace.
- Do not cheat: The course should be run fairly by everyone - shortcuts are not allowed.
- Listen to helpers: Our helpers are there for you. Please listen to their advice - they will make sure that everything runs smoothly.
- The focus is on having fun: It's not about the best times, but about having fun together!
After the run
The Bambini Cup is all about having fun with exercise. That's why there is no timekeeping or ranking for the 0 to 5-year-olds. Every child is a little winner - no matter how fast or slow they finish. Above all, the first run should be fun, motivating and a great experience - without any pressure to perform.
The Kids Cup Mini + Maxi is scored in the following age groups:
Mixed U8: 2019 + 2020
Mixed U10: 2017 + 2018
m/f U12: 2015 + 2016
m/f U14: 2013 + 2014
m/f U16: 2011 + 2012
