*Personalised bib numbers only available for participants registered online by Monday 16 September 2024.

At the latest 1 week before the event, all individual participants will receive a confirmation email containing their personalised number (if registered by 25 September) or an e-ticket. You can take this number to collect your event pack on site from the pre-registration desk on Saturday 5 October (12-5pm) and Sunday 6 October (8:00-10:30am).

If you registered as part of a group (school, company or association) with group collection you will not be able to collect your bib number personally, but through your group leader. That person is responsible for collecting and distributing the bib numbers for the entire group.

Collect your T-shirt by presenting your envelope or e-ticket. The person in charge

Please note: The size chosen on the registration form is purely informative and does not guarantee this size T-shirt will still be available at the time of collection. The earlier you collect your shirt, the higher the chance your preferred size is still available.

Bruges is a compact city. The use of motor vehicles in the historic inner city is not recommended. The Park and Ride areas are situated right outside of the city centre. Here you can park your car for free and for longer duration. The city centre is a stone’s throw away on foot or by bus. All info: www.visitbruges.be/parking-in-bruges-2.

Changing rooms

The exact location of the changing rooms will be published at a later date.

Storage sports bags

You can choose to hand in your sports bag with the storage provided.

A sticker with a unique number will be stuck on your bag and you will receive a sticker with the same number to stick on your bib number. After your participation in the event, you can collect your bag again upon presentation of the sticker on your bib number. If you lose your sticker, you will only get your bag back if you can give a precise description of the bag and contents.

The organisation will take the necessary safety precautions to guard this space as best as they can, still, use of the storage area is at your own risk. The organisation cannot be held responsible for any damage, loss and/or theft of personal belongings.

Some recommendations:

• Use a sports bag that can be fully closed and make sure it is all zipped up so that no items can fall out of the sports bag, loose items of clothing or plastic bags will not be accepted
• Do not leave any delicate items in your sports bag (e.g., iPhone, sports watch, wallet, etc.).

Het hele parcours is verkeersvrij. Wanneer het verkeer opnieuw wordt toegelaten, hangt af van de positie van de deelnemers en verschilt dus van straat tot straat. This information will be published ahead of the event.

If you would like to change the distance or name, you can do so until 16 September 2024 by emailing info@golazo.com. We would like to receive the following information from the substitute in case of a name change:

Visit Bruges

For centuries, the Bruges canals have connected the city to the sea, a guarantee of prosperity and wealth. International merchants built Bruges into one of the largest Hanseatic cities. In the 15th century, the city flourished as never before. The authentic medieval urban fabric was preserved, and large parts of the historical heritage remained virtually intact. It is therefore logical that UNESCO recognised the entire inner city as a World Heritage Site.
