Where are the kilometers indicated?
The ASML Marathon Eindhoven is the first marathon to work with counting down km points. In marathons, the kilometer points are indicated so that runners know how much they have already covered. In other sports (such as cycling) the distance to the finish line is indicated. By introducing the countdown km points in combination with a motivational saying, the ASML Marathon Eindhoven wants to offer its participants a psychological advantage. So not: ’36 km covered’, but: ‘only 6 km’ to go . All distances will finish on the Vestdijk. This means that every runner can see these countdown km signs. Because many runners would like to see the standard 5 km signs and times, these will be retained along the courses.

Is there time registration?
The MYLAPS BibTag will only be used to record time during all parts of the ASML Marathon Eindhoven on Sunday. There is an electronic chip (Tag) and a plastic spacer on the back of your starting number (Bib). BibTag makes registering your times very easy, all you have to do is wear your starting number correctly.

Information to ensure good time registration:

  • Wear your starting number visibly on your chest. Do not cover the bib number with a jacket or with your hands while passing the mats at the start and finish line. These mats receive the signal from your BibTag (also pay attention to pressing your own stopwatch on the start and finish line).
  • Do not fold or wrinkle the bib number. Certainly not where the Tag is.
  • Use four pins on the corners of the starting number, do not pierce the Tag.
  • Do not remove the plastic spacer.
  • The BibTag works based on a different technology than the MYLAPS ChampionChip. That is why you cannot use your yellow or green MYLAPS ChampionChip during this event. However, you can simply leave your MYLAPS ChampionChip on your shoe, as it will not interfere with the BibTag system.

The Tags do not have to be taken back after the race, you can keep the bib number (with Tag) as a souvenir or throw it away with the normal waste (plastic).

What is the official time?
The gun time is the official time. This starts when the starting shot is given and stops when you cross the finish line. The net time is the time that starts when you cross the mat on the starting line and stops when you cross the finish line. The net time/chip time is stated as an extra service.

Where are the toilets located?
Toilets are available in the start and finish area.

Where can I find my results?
The results will be published on this page afterwards. You will also receive the link to the results page by email after the event. Please note: the gun time is the official time. Do you have a question or comment about your result? Send an email to Mylaps Event Timing stating: your starting number and any times you have clocked yourself.
