The start area on Hartmannstraße will be fully closed between Schloßstraße and Bergstraße from 4 pm. The car park opposite the police headquarters will be closed from 6 a.m. to secure the set-up work.

According to the attached map, the running route will be completely closed on Wednesday from 5 pm to 9 pm. The event will be secured by the Chemnitz Police Headquarters with operational measures.

For safety reasons, please observe the stopping restrictions along the running route and the instructions of the stewards.

Participants and visitors to the event are also requested to use the city centre car parks and public transport. CVAG will announce any changes to bus and train services separately.
