Starting groups

See in the picture the situation and timetable of the starting groups. There is also the information about the baggage consignment timetable and detail of pace makers.

You can find your group and starting time in your bib. It is important to place yourself behind the banner with your group number. The starting time can be affected for different reasons and not match with your bib; however, your group will always be the correct one. If you start ahead of your departure group, you will be disqualified.

Change the starting group

You can start the race after the group you correspond, but you can’t never start before the time you have depending on your bib number. This will be subject of disqualification.
