- Once registration is complete, a team code is sent with the registration confirmation.
- This code must be passed on to the other 1-2 team members.
- The other members of the team select “Join an existing team” when registering and enter the code. This code cannot be added later.
- Each team member completes the registration themselves, enters payment details and receives confirmation by e-mail.
Participation
- If the team is drawn in the lottery, all members of the team receive a race entry.
- There is no team ranking. Each person is starts and is listed individually in the results list.
