Evaluations

Team Score

A team evaluation is possible in all runs (except for Bambini).

A team always consists of 3 members of one gender.

The team evaluation is done by adding up the time. In addition to the team rating, the individual team members are also taken into account in the individual rating. For each registered community, the three best of the 1st team, the next three fastest of the 2nd team, etc. will be rated.

Teams must be registered (see special announcement; please also pay close attention to the spelling when registering!).

Volkswagen-Cup

For the Hexad marathon, AudiBKK half marathon, the KBAU 10km and 5km classification, Volkswagen AG employees offered a Volkswagen Cup. The Volkswagen Cup is advertised as an individual competition (not a departmental competition). Only employees of the Volkswagen brand are authorized to register.

The age groups are based on the reorganization of the German Athletics Association as of January 1st, 2013.
