• Races are held under the IKSA rules and the regulations of the German Footbike Association (DTRV). Any ambiguities are resolved by the Race Director.
• Timing is electronic via transponders.
• The Saturday criterium is simultaneously contested as the Open German Footbike Championship.

APPENDIX: COURSE DESCRIPTION

Saturday:

Saturday courses: on the left is the criterium course for kids; in the middle is the criterium course for youth and the relay course (approx. 900 m, one short climb); on the right is the criterium course for adults (approx. 1.5 km and 18 m of elevation gain).

There is a large parking lot between the Saturday and Sunday courses. Unfortunately, it is subject to a fee, and parking capacity in the surrounding area may be limited. Check-in is located right next to the entrance to the arena. The start and finish are inside the arena. The transition zone for the relay race will be located after passing the start/finish line.

Sunday:

Sunday courses: on the left, the course for youth (blue) and kids (yellow) is shown. On the right is the course for cadets and adults (approx. 4.75 km and 65 m of elevation gain). The first half is undulating with several moderately steep climbs, followed by a long descent. From this descent, riders carry momentum into the longest climb, which includes steeper sections leading up to the finish.

The finish line for all age groups is in front of a clubhouse. This is also where the kids and youth races start. Cadets and adults start on the climb to the finish, as a descent begins immediately after crossing the finish line.
