One or two sightings
Choose fewer reliable stops. Extra sightings are not worth missing the finish or spending the day underground.

The map below is venue geography unless an official course trace is explicitly linked. Do not use the connecting line as a spectator route.
03 · Failure-proofing
Pre-agree the reunion
Screenshots, a fixed place, and a time threshold work when tracking, batteries, or cell networks fail.
It's a point-to-point-ish course, so spectating means picking one or two spots and committing.
Key points on course
- Start — 52.514, 13.377
- Finish — 52.516, 13.378
- Expo — 52.473, 13.524
Phones die and cell networks jam near big finish lines, so agree on a meeting point before the start. That one habit saves the day every time.
