Registration

Official registration is only possible from 01 to 28 February 2019 online at www.oetztaler-radmarathon.com - A registration fee of EUR 5 plus EUR 0.90 security and transaction fee will be charged per participant. Payment can be made by bank transfer or by credit card. Datasport AG guarantees the highest safety standard for this service offered.

It is possible to register as a single person, a mini group (2-4 persons) or a whole team (5 to 35 persons). If a mini group or a team is drawn, all participants who have officially registered in the registration list in the course of the registration process are automatically included. Multiple registrations are excepted - such registrations will be excluded from the official draw immediately.

The main draw will take place in the first half of March 2019. Persons who get a starting place will be published on the Ötztaler homepage on the day of the raffle and notified by email (it's recommended to check also the SPAM folder).

The maximum number of participants for the Ötztaler Cycle Marathon 2019 is 4000.

The percentage of starting places available for all groups (a) individual starters, (b) mini groups and (c) teams will be made only after the end of the registration phase and depends on the real value of all participants registered. For example, if 65% register as a single starter, 65% of the available starting places will be drawn by lot among individual starters.

The organizer reserves the right to give away a maximum of 500 further starting places (sponsors, media, etc.) which are not part of the official drawing and count as special starting places. Additionally, 500 starting places will be given away in combination with package deal bookings.

The entry fee for the Ötztaler Cycle Marathon 2019 amounts to € 149 plus the chip deposit of € 10. The chip deposit will be refunded upon return of the undamaged timekeeping chip. All transaction and security fees required must be paid by the participant himself.

The participant has no right of compensation for any expenses or costs or for the cancellation of accommodations booked already.

• In the course of the official registration for the event, it's possible to take out a cancellation insurance policy via Datasport. The organizer strongly recommends such a cancellation insurance. More detailed information about the insured risks and the insurance benefits (especially the reimbursement of entry fees) can be found in the insurance conditions.
• Without such a cancellation insurance, the participant will receive a refund of the entry fee if a written cancellation is sent to radmarathon@oetztal.com until 15.07.2019. The chip deposit of € 10 will be deducted as processing fee.

The canceled starting place is not valid for the following year!

• Persons who have registered unsuccessfully within the last three years (2016, 2017, 2018) and have not received a starting place in any other way (for example by passing on a starting place) will receive a non-transferable "special starting place" upon regular registration. These starting places are not subject to the official draw.
• People who have won the overall classification of the Ötztaler Cycle Marathon, the respective class winners of last year's Ötztaler Cycle Marathon and the 5 fastest members of the winning team of last year's Ötztaler Cycle Marathon receive a non-transferable "special starting place".
