Access to the start

Children can be brought to the assembly area. There, VCM volunteers will accompany them in groups to the start line. As several waves start at 10-minute intervals, not all participants need to arrive at 15:45 or 16:45.
Participants with a blue start number (The Daily Mile 1600) should arrive at the assembly point at 16:30 at the earliest.
 

Exit after the finish

The start and finish are at the same location. At the end of each start wave, official tail runners in the race will support the children. At the finish, the tail runners will accompany the children to the exit. There you can pick up your child again.
 
 

Meeting Points

Arrange a meeting point in advance, in case you miss each other. For example, at the VCM beach flags with symbols, at the SOS Children's Village booth, or near a statue in the Rathauspark. You can find information on our overview map. If a child cannot find a parent, we have volunteers to assist the child. The phone number provided at registration is printed on the bib number.
