Conduct and competition conditions

Everyone seeded for DM Senior and U23 elite will be placed in a separate DM field immediately behind the international elite. Individual placings in these classes are always decided on gross times (first across the finish line; time starts at the starting gun), while team competitions are always decided on net times (time starts when the runner crosses the start line and ends when crossing the finish line).

Masters competitors start in their respective starting groups according to the indicated expected finishing time. Both the individual competition and the team competition for the Masters classes are decided on net time.

Participants in DM must comply with World Athletics’ rules for maximum shoe height.

 

Further information

If needed, more practical information will be sent out by e-mail to all DM participants closer to the race. The elite field will receive information about warm-up options, changing, private hydration, etc.

All DM participants, including seeded runners, must pick up their race packet at the Copenhagen Half Marathon Expo in Sparta before the race.
