Changing or covering the lettering and sponsor logos is not permitted and will result in disqualification. Anyone running without a bib number will be removed from the course by the event organizers. It is not necessary to return the bib number after the event.

• Start times and starting area

  The starting line-up is in the Olympic Park, at Hans-Jochen-Vogel-Platz right next to the large Olympic Hall. The start will take place at 9:20 a.m.

  Only runners with an official bib number are allowed to enter the starting area. The start time is marked on the bib number.

  All textiles left in the starting area will be collected. Textiles will not be returned.

   

• Changing rooms and clothing depot

  The clothing drop-off on Marathon sunday is in the Olympic Hall. To drop off your clothing, please ONLY USE THE GMM SPORTS BAG, which will be issued with the bib number. Please mark your bib number clearly on your bag.

  For other sports bags or larger pieces of luggage, we offer a cloakroom at the info point for a fee (5 euros per piece of luggage). After the run, you can pick up your GMM sports bag again by 5:30 p.m. upon presentation of your bib number.

  Changing facilities are also available in the Olympic Park.

• Timekeeping and live tracking

  The timekeeping at the GENERALI MUNICH MARATHON is carried out exclusively via the RFID transponder (disposable transponder) in the baton. No additional transponders are required. The teams that properly cross the start and finish lines as well as all control mats laid out on the course will be evaluated according to the net time (effective running time). Classification is also based on women/men/mixed relay.

  Use the live data stream on www.generalimuenchenmarathon.de to keep your friends and family up to date about your race. Live tracking will be available on Sunday, October 13th, 2024.

• Relay changeover points

  At the changeover points, areas are set up sorted by start numbers. These are marked and serve as orientation for the arriving runners to make it easier to recognize their relay team member.

  Changeover from Runner 1 to Runner 2 (at kilometer 9,5)
  Changeover from Runner 2 to Runner 3 (at kilometer 21,3)
  Changeover from Runner 3 to Runner 4 (at kilometer 27)
