Sports bag storage and changing rooms

During the event, you can leave your sports bag at the provided storage area at the Waagnatie as of 8h. A sticker with a unique number will be attached to your bag and you will receive a sticker with the same number to attach to your ankle or wrist strap or bib number. Your unique number will also be written on your arm or hand. After participating in the event, you can collect your sports bag by showing your sticker and number on your arm or hand. If you lose your sticker, you will only be able to collect your sports bag after showing the number on your arm or hand and providing an accurate description of your bag and its contents to the organisation.

The organisation will take the necessary safety measures to guard the area as well as possible, but use of it is at your own risk. The organisation cannot accept any responsibility for possible damage, loss and/or theft of personal belongings.

Some recommendations:

  • Use a properly lockable sports bag and make sure it is also properly closed so that no items can fall out of your sports bag.
  • Do not leave any valuable items (such as Iphone, sports watch, wallet, etc.) in your sports bag.
  • The organisation cannot accept any responsibility for possible damage, loss and/or theft of personal belongings.


Changing rooms

Tents will be provided at the event site. Please note: There will be no showers.
