Length of race course confirmed

By yesterday’s post-race measurement the race course has been confirmed to be long enough.
The wrongly shortened first lap was 1765 m, the added last (15th) lap was 790 m long. The actual course length with 100.055 km is within the desired range of 1/1000 normally used for Jones-Counter measurements.
Hence all achieved performances can be included into rankings and record applications can be prepared.

The LOC wants to sincerely apologize for this error caused by us. We know that we put a lot of psychological and physical stress to some officials having to fix the problem during the race and especially to the athletes, who could not be sure that their good performances can be ratified.
As we are also runners we know how this uncertainty might have felt.

Today in the evening there will be available all 55 correctly annotated split times on the website of the time keeper . After that we will prepare the documentation for the recognition of the European record and the 4 world age best performances.

Qualifying performances necessary for senior world championships (WMA)?

No qualifying performances are required to participate in the WMA Senior World Championships.

Participation is possible for all those who have turned 35 years of age by 26.08.2022 at the latest. Registration is possible by the athlete him/herself. The national federation will check the national specifics. In Germany, this is the possession of a start pass with a German athletics federation.

A nomination from the national federation is required for participation in the official IAU World Championships.

It’s going on ….

The local organisation commitee for the 100k World Championships have their hands full: Aquire partners and sponsors, coordinate details of the track, planing of the opening ceremony and flag parade, extending the website, booking hotel rooms, concretize agreements with the IAU und WMA and so on. There’s a lot of work – but all is on a good way and so it’s also fun.

And when another step is finished, we will keep you up to date here.
