REGISTRATION

LIMITED NUMBER OF STARTING PLACES

The first drawing for the Ötztaler Cycle Marathon 2010 includes a total of 5,000 starting places: 4,500 places will be drawn from all registrations and probortionally divided into the following classes - single registrations (45 %), small groups of 2 to 4 persons (25 %) and groups of 5+ persons (30 %). The organizing committee of the Ötztaler Cycle Marathon reserves the right to give away further 500 starting places (media, sponsors, etc.) which are not part of the official drawing.

There is a maximum number of 4,000 cyclists allowed to participate in the Ötztaler Cycling Marathon 2010. This means that in the course of postponed drawings of starting places a smaller number of starters will have the chance to take part in the drawing. Already in the first drawing more than the limited number of participants will be taken and cancellations do not happen very frequently.
