Re: Running Races 2009

This one is next on my agenda. But I find it terribly stressful/confusing to navigate the bureaucratic hurdles, language barriers, not even sure if I qualify to participate .

Basically, according to google translator, the the applications are FCFS until the 600 slots are filled. Applications will be deemed valid only if accompanied by a medical certificate. Which means I will lose several days before I get it all ready. I would have preferred to submit the aplication contingent on my ability to produce the certificate before the race day, you think they will agree?

I read the discussion above on this subject, I understand any family doc would suffice but I ain't got any, so any specific recommendation with address in Zug/Zurich would be much appreciated. Inexpensive, non-fussy if possible.

Any one else planning for this run? Would love to exchange notes before I dare to pick up the phone and talk to the organizers about the registration formalities.

Thanks!!
I don't know if you've seen this already, but they have one summary page in English hidden in the middle of their website.
As far as I understand, you can pay online (thus securing your registration), then go and see a doctor, then send the certificate (thus confirming/validating your registration). Shouldn' t be a problem.

I'll be happy to help in case your attempts to speak/understand Frenglish over the phone fail.
