The event is the "fastest natural run in the world", an award that is no coincidence. The European Athletics Association awarded the event to the maximum number of five stars.

In addition, the participants can look forward to free childcare offers and city tours - so something is required for the entire family. The organizers emphasize that the best evaluation takes into account the age of the participants, which is an additional motivation for many.

The security of the participants is important to the organizers. As part of the registration, an internationally validated questionnaire is integrated from the Humboldt University in Berlin. This serves to appreciate health risks and, if necessary, recommend a medical consultation. The aim is to raise awareness of preventive health care for runners, as is explained on ALSTAHTHLETik.de

Although the number of participants is already gratifyingly high, the event suffers from the withdrawal of numerous sponsors. Nevertheless, the anticipation for the race day in the well -known Altötting remains unbroken, and the organizers are doing everything possible to ensure that the half marathon becomes an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.
