Time Recording

Upcoming edition uses the so-called bib tag to time the participants. The Racetimer bib tag is attached to your start number. The only action the participant must perform is pinning on his/her start number. This means you don’t need a shoelace chip. Returning the chip is not required. In addition to accurate timekeeping, the chip offers personalized video. To do this, click on the camera icon in the results after the event.

Sports in heat

Running in various weather conditions can pose risks. In this article from SPORTgericht you can read what running events take for measures to limit the risks. You can also read for yourself what you can do to exclude necessary risks.

Venloop Shirt

This year it is again possible to create a beautifully functional Running Shirt to order. For participants in the Koenen en Co Business Run, this shirt is included in the price. There is a choice of men’s, women’s and children’s shirts in various sizes. You can order shirts while stocks last via the registration module or via our webshop. Once the shirts are delivered, they can also be purchased during office hours at the Venloop office at Koninginnesingel 14 in Venlo.
