Event Reminders

 

Start Line
The two starting lineups are in Börsenstraße and Hochstraße. On the course overview map, you can see how best to get from your corporate meeting point to the respective start. The entrances to the starting line-up will be open from 5:30 p.m. Please note that the start procedure will take up to 90 minutes due to the size of the event. The start of the first starting wave of the J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge Frankfurt is at 7:00 p.m. Please pay attention to the announcements of our announcers and follow their instructions.

Individual results are calculated on the time elapsed between crossing the start and finish timing mats. Participants must cross the start and finish line timing mats and on-course timing split points to receive an official time.

Your Bib Number
The bibs are personalized. For the safety of our participants, the personal data number and medical information on the back of the race must be filled in completely and correctly. The timing transponder is also located on the back of your race number - the race number must not be bent, otherwise the timing transponder may be damaged. The race number must be worn on the chest during the race. Safety pins can be used to attach the race number to the chest.

Finish Line
Please arrange a meeting point with your colleagues far behind the food and beverage stations, to avoid a “traffic jam” at the finish line for the runners following you.

Finisher Shirts
For all those who have not collected their finisher shirts in advance, there is the possibility of collecting them at the distribution points in Bockenheimer Landstraße or Zeppelinallee. Please bring the T-shirt vouchers attached to your race number with you.

Opernplatz
We will be celebrating the 30th anniversary of the J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge Frankfurt together at the Opernplatz. Many seating areas invite you to come together at the Opernplatz before or after the run. The catering offer a wide range of food and beverages: from regional specialties to oriental culinary highlights. Our beverage stands offer alcoholic drinks as well as non-alcoholic drinks. After the run, a DJ from FFH will provide musical entertainment late into the evening.

Info Tent
If you have any questions before the start or after the run, please contact our staff at the Information Tent. The Information Tent is located at the Opernplatz on the south side of the Alte Oper.

Bag Drop-Off
Backpacks may not be taken into the start line-ups or onto the course of the J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge Frankfurt. A changing area will be set up in the parking space of the Alte Oper, where bags can be left in a supervised area - please understand that our staff will inspect the contents and, if necessary, ask you to repack them in transparent bags. We accept no liability for valuables; you will find public lockers at the main station and on the B level of the Hauptwache. The police urge you not to leave any rucksacks or bags unattended.

Awards Ceremony
The Awards Ceremony will take place in the finish area immediately after the fastest participants have crossed the finish line.

Nordic Walking Poles and Other Equipment
For safety reasons, Nordic walking poles, roller skates, skateboards, rollerblades, baby joggers, roller skis, bicycles and strollers are strictly prohibited on the entire course. The use of any of the above items will result in the disqualification of the individual and possibly the entire team.

Showers
Our partner FITSEVENELEVEN will make its showers available to participants in the four studios at Mainzer Landstraße 50, Taunusturm Taunustor 1, Hanauer Landstraße 120 and Zeil 105. Please have your race number ready to access the changing rooms and showers.

Changing Rooms and Toilets
We will set up separate changing rooms for men and women inside the parking garage of the Alte Oper. We will also provide toilets on the way to the start as well as in the green areas and behind the finish line.

Video Surveillance
We would like to point out that some areas of the event area, such as the Opernplatz and the starting line-up, will be monitored by video for your safety.

Photo & Video Recordings
Photographs and video will be taken in the entire event area.

Hydration
Sufficient hydration is particularly important when it comes to high temperatures before and during the run. There is a refreshment point at KM3.5 on the route on either side of the course.

No Start in Case of Illness or Indisposition
Participants who feel unwell or show symptoms of illness are asked to refrain from taking part.

Medical Service on the Course
First aid personnel will be available along the route to intervene in medical emergencies. If you suddenly feel unwell, are in pain or have cardiovascular problems, we recommend that you take a few steps calmly and, if necessary, speak to a marshal who can inform the first-aid team on site.
