For non-competitive runs (dm Family Mile, dm Bambini Run, and Active Breakfast Run), the overall ranking is not evaluated.
You can contact us, if there is a mistake in your result within 5 working days after the race. Don’t forget to provide the name of the race, your start number and as many details as possible. In the team race the official result of all team members is added up.

The dm family mile is a race primarily intended for families with children. A mile is a competitive athletic distance of 1.6 kilometers. However, the dm family mile itself is a non-competitive run, divided into several categories based on pace. More information can be found on page: dm family mile. The starting gate is the inflatable dm-branded gate.
Anyone can sign up, even without a Runners ID – that means you don’t need to have a profile with all your details set up.
Without proper registration and a race number, participation in the race is not possible.
Due to capacity limitations, technical facilities and a baggage storage area are not available for participants of the dm family mile.
You can pick up your race number at the Running Expo, where race numbers for competitive runs are distributed. It’s not necessary for each participant to come in person – one parent can pick up the numbers for the whole family. You will be asked to present an ID card or another form of identification. To collect numbers for other runners, it’s enough to provide their names or the order number.
Race bib numbers for the dm family mile and dm bambini run will be assigned at the Running Expo. Therefore, no email with a race bib number will be sent for these events.
Along with your race number, you will also receive a starter pack.

The start is in waves, with the first ones to start are the children themselves, who dare to run without their parents. Then the whole families start at a faster pace, followed by the slower runners. The last ones to start are the runners who are more likely to walk the route, families with strollers, small children on balance bikes, etc.
For safety reasons, strollers, bicycles, and balance bikes are not allowed to start in the first or second wave. Participants with strollers, balance bikes, or bicycles may start in the third or fourth wave.
The division is for the safety of all runners, and for the best experience for children, who can really compete and give it their all.
At the finish line, each participant will receive a medal and a small snack. We ask that you continue smoothly into the corridor after the finish line and not prevent other competitors from completing the race.
