Health and safety in focus
The safety of the participants is important to the organizers. As part of the registration process, an internationally validated questionnaire from the Humboldt University of Berlin will be integrated. This serves to assess health risks in a qualified manner and, if necessary, recommend a medical consultation. The aim is to raise awareness of preventive health care among runners, as shown on athletics.de is explained.
Although the number of participants is already pleasingly high, the event is suffering 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 they can to ensure that the half marathon is an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.
