Registration opens via the Racepedia registration portal with staged early‑bird pricing and a late/onsite entry process; finishers receive downloadable certificates and prize ceremonies are held for overall and age‑group winners. The programme emphasises officially measured, flat riverside courses including a new World Heritage Marathon element and the traditional Westspangenlauf 10 km race.
