The event adheres strictly to international competition rules (IWB) alongside guidelines set forth by the German Athletics Association (DLV), ensuring fair play for all competitors while maintaining safety standards. Participants should be aware that the course passes through wooded areas where natural hazards such as falling branches or uneven terrain may occur, especially during periods of climate change. Participants are encouraged to exercise caution both before and during the race, assessing their surroundings carefully at all times. The organizers will conduct a thorough inspection of the route prior to the event but cannot guarantee protection against unforeseen weather conditions or sudden environmental changes that might pose risks. While no liability is assumed by the organizers for injuries sustained due to natural hazards within the forested section of the course unless caused directly by gross negligence, they strongly recommend participants consult their health status before participating. Personal belongings left unattended on event grounds are at the owner's risk and the organizing committee does not take responsibility for any loss or damage incurred. This race offers a unique blend of scenic beauty, competitive spirit, and community engagement, making it an unforgettable experience for runners and walkers from all walks of life.
