Bonn Marathon: Bib numbers & Expo (2 days to go) [EN]

eulenews (53)in #running • 6 years ago (edited)

We already registered many months ago for the Bonner Half-Marathon because the starting fees are staggered and will increase gradually until the race. A few days ago we received the registration confirmation with which we can pick up the start numbers.

There is also a marathon expo in Bonn every year, in the tent where the start numbers are available, sales stands are set up with all kinds of things the runner needs or desires.

You can make a bargain or at least use the opportunity to inform yourself about the latest trends.

The handing of bib numbers in Bonn always runs quite smoothly, because the helper team has many years of experience.

In our running club the registration certificates are always collected and then a small group drives to Bonn. Then of course you have more to do and afterwards you are covered with a lot of runners' bags.

You get also a running shirt from the main sponsor every year. Over the years we have received a small collection. Otherwise there is a lot of advertising in the bag, as you can see in the picture.
We will need the bag itself for the changing clothes on the running day. That's why it's also labeled with the bib number.

In addition to the bib number, the race chip is also important. Who runs regularly competitions has his own, the others borrow one from the organizer. The Bonn Marathon uses the ChampoinChip, which is used at many big events and allows an exact net time measurement.

So tomorrow still a few preparations and in any case the weather check. Otherwise, calm, calm, calm, if possible..
