You may also opt to keep the chip after the event. By registering with the rental option, you have also signed a contract to purchase after the end of the rental period, and after the event your account or credit card will be debited 25 euros, the difference between the rental fee (6 euros) and the cost of purchase (31 euros). This procedure will end the previous practice of returning the chip deposit on race day. Please fasten the chip to your shoelaces (no metal devices used) – otherwise your time will not be measured.

The race numbers have to be collected at the BERLIN VITAL Expo from September 23 - 25, 2010 upon presentation of the original registration confirmation.

The adidas shirts coupons must be redeemed during the BERLIN VITAL fair. It will not be possible at a later date. In addition, each participant will also receive a clothing bag and a sponge.
