Drops:
If you have to drop out of the Run you have to get to the nearest checkpoint and inform the staff there. in emergency case you can also call the emergency number on your bib. A shuttle service will bring you from the checkpoint to the finish line in Holzhausen. Please be patient, it might take a while until a shuttle is available.

Course:
You run through the Nassau County Nature Park. You pass through the Nassau Nature Park. You reach the eponymous mountain, the „Grauer Kopf“ (gray head), shortly after the start, before you approach the banks of the river Lahn during a deadly, several kilometers downhill run. After a short visit of the city / castle Nassau the course take you through the „Muehlbach“ (mill creek) valley back to the finish line. Quite simple, isn’t it? ?
