  • In addition to all its physiological benefits, sports activity can also pose dangers, albeit to a very small extent. 
  • It is important for you to consult a cardiologist or sports medicine doctor before performing at a higher level of performance to assess and evaluate any risk factors you may have and to screen for any possible diseases. Once these are determined, further testing may be necessary if you are placed in a higher cardiovascular risk group. The aim of these is to prevent even life-threatening events.
  • Only participate in a sporting event that involves more than average effort or a more strenuous workout if you have adequate endurance training.
  • If you have upper respiratory tract complaints, an illness accompanied by vomiting and/or diarrhea, a fever, or are injured, do not participate in the event or the upcoming training sessions until you have recovered.

If you are unsure about the right time to start again, consult your GP/sports doctor/orthopedic doctor/cardiologist.

  • If you experience any unusual symptoms (e.g. dizziness, fainting, unreasonably fast heartbeat, irregular heartbeat, choking, chest pain, chest tightness) while exercising, stop and seek help if necessary!
  • The above does not depend on the length of the sports activity, what constitutes serious performance is unique to each person. Be responsible for yourself, exercise smartly!

* YOU CAN ONLY START THE COMPETITION IN A SANTA CLAUS COSTUME PROVIDED BY BSI, ALONG WITH YOUR STARTING NUMBER!!

* Due to the specifics of the race (cobblestone, narrow sections, crowding) and for the safety of the participants, we do not recommend runners with strollers to participate!

  • Please wear your race number on the front, make sure it is always clearly visible and do not fold it! Make sure your race number is attached correctly, you will find safety pins in your race pack and at the registration desks.
  • All prepared runners and wheelchair users who accept the conditions set out in the competition announcement can participate in the race.
  • A competitor may be disqualified if he/she does not complete the entire distance of the competition - as determined by the organizers - or if he/she fills out the entry form inaccurately or incompletely with inaccurate data.
  • Roller skating, cycling, running without a race number, and running with a dog are prohibited in the race. Runners who start with a cyclist or roller skater may be excluded from the race!
  • We do not undertake any value retention in the competition!
  • Any commercial and advertising activities at the event venue may only be carried out with the prior permission of BSI, in an agreed form and manner.
  • For organizational reasons, BSI reserves the right to limit the number of participants and close registration at any time.
  • BSI reserves the right to change the route, program and time.
