Pick-up starting numbers and chips
The team captain has to pick up the bib numbers and chips of the whole team at the registration tent (Charles De Costerlaan). He/she will receive 1 big envelope in which he will find 6 personal envelopes (eacht with starting number and chip) for the 6 team members. With these 6 envelopes, you can also pick-up your T-shirts (if you ordered any).
Everybody has to run with chip! This chip should be attached to your shoe using the small loop and will register your time more accurately. Our collaborators will cut off the chips at the relay points.
