Start group
Each participant is assigned a starting number after the deadline of the online-registration and therefore also a start group. In which start group you start is depending on the expected finish time that you could specify on the registration form. Participants who do not have specified a finish time, automatically slip into the final group .
Relays always start in the last start group!
Only the elite athletes and participants who are registered for the subseries can start in the first group on the Cologne226 half and Cologne226.
