Your race material for the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON
All participants of the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON will receive their race material exclusively at the MARATHON EXPO by BRITA.
The pick-up must be made in person without exception. For this you need:
- Your photo document (identity card, passport or driver's license)
- Your start card which you receive 7 to 10 days before the event via e-mail and will be also available as a download in your user account
What you get:
Athlete Wristband
Your athlete wristband, which will be placed on you at the entrance to the rate material pick-up.
IMPORTANT: Please do not remove the wristband under any circumstances, as entry to the start area will only be granted with a participation wristband!
Bib Number
Your personal bib number, including a Transponder for timekeeping on the back.
Your starting block is marked with a letter from A to K on your bib number.
The start number may not be changed or passed on to another person.
Extras
If you've booked extras such as a clothing bag, merchandise, or the adidas event T-shirt, you'll receive them at the EXPO.
The products and services you've booked are printed on your race number.
