Participants of the half marathon may purchase an adidas breathable shirt (printed with the event logo) in lieu of the traditional cotton t-shirt for 20.00 euro.
The breathable shirt must be ordered by January 29, 2010!

Karl-Liebknecht-Straße near Palace Bridge (Schloßbrücke) (pending confirmation by the state authorities)

Mühlendamm

There will be changing rooms and showers in tents in the finish area.

Times will be measured using the ChampionChip. The ChampionChip is a plastic transponder attached to your shoe, which calculates your personal time. Times are kept using the ChampionChip at 60 % of all races in Germany and at all of the major marathon races throughout the world. You have the following options:
a) Chip owners can record their chip numbers on their registration form (7-digit letter/number code).
b) Chip purchase: Please check the appropriate box on your registration form. The purchase price of 31 euro will be debited from your account before the event along with your registration fee. You will then receive the chip in the mail two weeks after registering, so that you will have it for other events, as well. For those registering less than 30 days before the event, the chip will be included with the race number at the expo.
c) Chip rental with an option to buy: You can rent the chip and return it undamaged to the chip return area within two hours after the end of the event. The rental fee of 6 euro will be charged along with your registration fee. You can also simply decide to keep the chip after the event, as by registering you have made a sales contract upon the conclusion of the rental period, and after the event the organiser will debit the difference of the purchase price (31 euro) and the rental fee (6 euro) from your account – 25 euro. Thus, there will no longer be deposit payments on the day of the event.
Please be sure to fasten the chip securely on your shoe laces (not using any metal), or no timekeeping will be possible.

The time limit for runners and power walkers is 3:00 hours (1:45 p.m.). If the tempo you are running indicates that the half marathon distance could not be finished in that time, you will be removed from the race and brought to the finish by bus.

This public expo presents the newest trends and products from the areas of lifestyle, fitness, wellness, health, and nutrition. You can gather information from the experts on a variety of topics, and you must also pick up your race materials here.
Each participant of the 30th Vattenfall BERLIN HALF MARATHON plus 2 accompanying persons, as well as children under the age of 18, have free entrance.

The race numbers will be issued at the BERLIN VITAL Spring Expo from March 25–27, 2010, upon presentation of your confirmation of registration.
Please bring your chip with you to be tested. For those unable to register at the expo, the race numbers can also be picked up on race day, Sunday, March 28, 2010 in the starting area.
The organiser emphasizes that there could be long lines at this last minute race number distribution. 

Please try to pick up your materials on one of the three prior days at the expo!
Both the pre-ordered adidas breathable shirts will be distributed at the BERLIN VITAL Expo. The coupons for both will be attached to your race number, if pre-ordered. All participants who did not order the breathable adidas t-shirt will receive the official cotton event shirt.

Fair sportsman-like behaviour is expected of all participants. Please keep to the marked route. Failure to do so will result in disqualification. The race number must be worn on the chest. Any alterations to the race number will lead to disqualification.

All participants will receive a medal at the finish line (until 1:45 p.m.). Preliminary certificates can be picked up in the finish area approx. 45 minutes after finishing, and they will be available online by evening. A personal certificate with the time and placing, as well as a result list will be sent by mail automatically.

The winners in each age category receive free registration for the 2011 Half Marathon.

The results for the power walkers will be listed alphabetically with times rather than by ranking.

• in the FINISH area: show stage with music /
  entertainment / gastronomy
• along the course: numerous samba bands
  

4 refreshment points will be set up on the course; water, tea, and fruit will be available at the finish.

An Post-Race Party will take place in an exclusive location on the evening of the event. Sport enthusiasts and dancing friends will gather together to celebrate into the wee hours of the morning. You will receive a ticket for the party with your race materials.

The entire course will be monitored and supervised by a medical team. The doctors on duty have the right and responsibility to remove any runners with signs of injuries or overexertion from the race.

Volunteers are always welcome for all of our events.
