TCS Lidingöloppet 30K 1 (2) 25 September BEFORE THE RACE START CERTIFICATE & NUMBER BIB
All registered participants will now receive their Starting Certificate only by email. The Start Certificate contains the participant’s personal QR code. To collect your number bib, bring your personal QR code to the Number Bib Distribution. At the time of delivery, you will scan your personal QR code and your number bib will be printed. You can also find your QR code on My Pages. The Number Bib Distribution takes place at Lidingövallen. The Number Bib Distribution’s opening hours: Thursday 18:00-21:00, Friday 09:00-21:00 and Saturday 07:0015:00. We recommend that you collect your number bib no later than 90 minutes before your start. Keep in mind that many people will pick up their number bib at the same time and that we want to avoid congestion. If you have the opportunity, we recommend you to pick up your number bib the day before your race.
START
The start is from Koltorp. Your starting group and start time can be seen on the number bib. A timing chip is located on the back of the number bib. The start will take place in groups of 250 people in order to avoid congestion. Two groups will be in the starting area at the same time: the one standing at the start line and the one waiting to walk up to the starting line. Please note that no participants will be allowed to enter the staring area until 20 minutes before start, as we wish to avoid crowds. The start groups 1A, 1B and 1C are excepted from this rule as they start together, but with space between the groups. At the time of their start, no other runners will be in the start area. The admission to the start area opens 20 minutes before your start and closes 10 minutes before. Information signs indicate when entry can take place. Starting in an earlier start group leads to automatic disqualification. Starting in a later group will automatically cause time extensions that cannot be corrected. PLEASE NOTE that it is about 1.8 km from Lidingövallen to the start area at Koltorp.
BAGGAGE HAND-IN
You can hand in your bag at Lidingövallen. It can be transported to the finish area for 40 SEK. The bag can also remain at the drop-off point free of charge. Follow the instructions. For valuables, see ”Good to know” hereinafter in this magazine. 8
CHOOSE FOR YOURSELF IF YOU WANT LABELS FOR CLOTHING
If you want a bag or clothing submission label, print this in the Number Bib Distribution after you receive your number bib.
WARM UP CLOTHING
Clothing bags can be left free of charge at the start. You will find the clothing drop to the right of the start gate before entering. Only TCS Lidingöloppet’s clothing bags can be used which you get at the number bib handout. By warm-up clothing we mean a thinner training jacket, sweater and pants. Close the bag and turn on the label. Only clothing bags, not baggage, may be placed in the trolley. Clothing delivery takes place after the finish at Grönsta gärde on presentation of your number bib. It is not allowed to leave valuables in the clothing bag. .
