Attention: Swim Caps
For sustainability reasons, we have started to reduce the number of swim caps where possible. Unfortunately, due to issues in the Red Sea, a shipment has not yet arrived, and we can only provide swim caps for the trial distance. We ask all other participants to bring their own swim caps.
Equipment Recommendation:
For organizational reasons, we do not have a vendor on-site this year, but we have prepared the appropriate recommendations for you.
If you need anything, you can order the relevant products from LaufSinn.de or makosport.at, and we will bring them to you.
