  • Time measuring

    Times will be measured using the ChampionChip. The ChampionChip is a plastic transponder attached to your shoe, which calculates your personal time. Times are kept using the ChampionChip at 60 % of all races in Germany and at all of the major marathon races throughout the world. You have the following options:

    a) Chip owners can record their chip numbers on their registration form (7-digit letter/number code).

    b) Chip purchase: Please check the appropriate box on your registration form. The purchase price of 31 euro will be debited from your account before the event along with your registration fee. You will then receive the chip in the mail two weeks after registering, so that you will have it for other events, as well. For those registering less than 30 days before the event, the chip will be included with the race number at the expo.

    c) Chip rental with an option to buy: You can rent the chip and return it undamaged to the chip return area within two hours after the end of the event. The rental fee of 6 euro will be charged along with your registration fee. You can also simply decide to keep the chip after the event, as by registering you have made a sales contract upon the conclusion of the rental period, and after the event the organiser will debit the difference of the purchase price (31 euro) and the rental fee (6 euro) from your account – 25 euro. Thus, there will no longer be deposit payments on the day of the event.
    Please be sure to fasten the chip securely on your shoe laces (not using any metal), or no timekeeping will be possible.

  • Time limit

    The time limit for runners and power walkers is 3:00 hours (1:45 p.m.). If the tempo you are running indicates that the half marathon distance could not be finished in that time, you will be removed from the race and brought to the finish by bus.

  • Expo BERLIN VITAL

    The BERLIN VITAL expo presents the newest trends and products from the areas of lifestyle, fitness, wellness, health, and nutrition. You can gather information from the experts on a variety of topics, and you must also pick up your race materials here.
    Each participant of the 33rd Vattenfall BERLIN HALF MARATHON plus two accompanying persons, as well as children under the age of 18, have free entrance.
    Located at Airport Tempelhof (Subway U6, Platz der Luftbrücke). Open Thursday thru Saturday.

  • Participant race number Pick-Up

    The race numbers will be issued at the BERLIN VITAL expo from April 4th till April 6th, 2013, upon presentation of your confirmation of the registration. Please bring along your timing chip to be tested. For those unable to register at the expo, the race numbers can also be picked up on race day, Sunday, April 7th, 2013 in the starting area. We emphasize that there could be long lines at this last minute race number distribution.

    Please try to pick up your race kit on one of the three days prior to race day at the expo! Both the pre-ordered adidas functional shirts as well as the official event shirt will be distributed at the BERLIN VITAL Expo. The coupons for both will be attached to your race number, if pre-ordered.
