Participants in the 15, 20 and 25 km start in starting groups. The starting groups are classified according to the order of registration. You can always start in a later start group of the distance you have chosen, but you may not start earlier. The classification is only known after the registration has been closed, contacting Le Champion makes no sense with regard to the starting times.
Before the start you need to collect your starting stamp near the start. This is possible from the moment the stamp post is open. It is mandatory to collect the starting stamp and walk with the registration chip. The start is automatically registered via the chip.

Finish

After a lovely walk, it’s of course all about reaching the finish! You can finish the first three walking days (Wednesday to Friday) between 11.00 hours and 16.30 hours. You can finish on Saturday from 11.30 hours. You can’t finish earlier or later than these times.
You must collect your finish stamp and your new stamp card at the finish for the next walking day. You put this stamp card back in the case that hangs on your keycord. It’s important that you wear the lanyard with stamp card over your jacket. This automatically registers the entry by means of the chip that is attached to the case.
