Attention E35 Competitors: Start Numbers are valid for use as a train ticket from Grindelwald to the race Start in Burglauenen on 15 July 2023. Competitors choosing to pick up their Start Number in Burglauenen on race day will forego this offer. If mandatory equipment is not on hand at the control in Burglauenen, it has no possibility to purchase equipment on site.
Each competitor is responsible for collecting his or her own Start number. The QR code which each runner will receive by e-mail one week before the event must be presented when collecting the race number. The entire mandatory equipment must be presented for inspection at the Start number distribution point. The mandatory equipment will be checked by a race official and marked (for E101, E51, E35).
At the Start Number Distribution each competitor will receive:
Start Number
This should be worn on the chest, stomach or on the leg. It must be visible during the entire race. The Start Number allows entry to the Refreshment Zones, Medical and Rest Zones, as well as to the clothing/Bag Drop/Depot area and showers. It can also be used as a transport ticket to return to Grindelwald. For E35 Competitors the Start Number is also a transport ticket for the train from Grindelwald to the Start in Burglauenen. The start number comes with a disposable chip to measure your time. Your start number does not have to be handed in at the end.
GPS-Tracker for E101 Competitors only
All runners in the E101 are issued with a GPS tracker along with their bib number. The GPS tracker must be worn as instructed throughout the race. It is handed back at the end of the race. Runners will be charged CHF 90.00 if they do not return their GPS tracker!
Drop bag (bag 35l) for E101 and E35
E101 competitors may deposit their belongings in bags provided. Bags should be deposited at the start area bag drop on Saturday between 03:30 - 04:00. The bags will then be transported by the race organiser to the check point in Burglauenen (approx. half way on the E101), and then returned later to the finish area. The first bags can be picked up from the bag depot, on presentation of the Start number, at the curling rink from approx. 16:00 on Saturday.
Runners on course E35 will receive a drop bag for clothes, shoes and effects. This will be transported from the Burglauenen start area to the finish and will be ready for collection in the curling hall after the finish.
