All runners will receive one Drop Bag and the corresponding labels at registration. The Drop Bags can be handed in at the start of the respective race and collected again at the finish.
Runners in the 100M and 100K categories may also drop off additional drop bags (bring them with you, if needed) for the mentioned aid stations. These drop bags can also be collected again at the finish line.

CONTENT: As the items in the Bags are neither checked nor controlled, the race organizers are not responsible for the contents of the Bags. We recommend not placing any valuable items in these Bags. The use of Drop Bags or Spare Bags is optional. Out of consideration for all participants, liquids should be avoided, as they may leak.
TAG YOUR BAG: On each of the drop bags you should include your corresponding tag. The bigger tag (BIB) is for drop bags provided.
