health and security

A safe run is a good run. It is therefore recommended for the snow head run to fill out the health questionnaire developed by the Humboldt University in Berlin. In this way, possible health risks are estimated. A medical consultation is advised if necessary. This is part of a comprehensive approach that the German Athletics Association (DLV) has initiated in order to raise awareness of health care among runners. The questionnaire corresponds to the "guidelines for preventive examination in sport", which the German Society for Sports Medicine and Prevention has determined. A clever step for a safe challenge!

Here is also great emphasis on the security and well -being of all those who embark on the route. In addition to competent time measurement, the event also offers a variety of additional services- from the route and target supply, to medical care, to changing and shower facilities. Even the honorary prices for the best participants are not long in coming!

The snow head run not only promises sporting challenges, but also a great atmosphere with many like -minded people. So we can be excited to see how the day will develop and who secures the coveted medals. On the places, ready, go - we keep our fingers crossed for all participants!
