Questions about the Virtual Charity Run
Taking part
Can I take part in both the Virtual Charity Run and the Erbe Lauf?
Yes, of course! Please register separately for each event. This way you support Doctors Without Borders and the regional social partner of the Erbe Lauf.
Are there any entry fees?
There are no entry fees. Participation is free of charge!
Can I cancel my registration?
Unfortunately it is not possible to cancel afterwards. As participation is free of charge, you will not incur any costs.
Collecting kilometres
When can I collect kilometres?
For example, go for a walk with your colleagues during your lunch break or run late in the evening if it’s too hot during the day. It is only important that you complete and upload your runs within the event week.
Where can I collect kilometres?
You can take part anywhere in the world: on the treadmill, on holiday, walking the dog or hiking in the mountains.
Which activities are permitted?
Everyone has different physical abilities, so walking, hiking and handbiking are allowed in order to collect as many kilometres as possible. Just please don’t use a bike or other means of transport that aren’t on foot.
Where can I see my kilometres and certificate?
You can find the results after the run in the ranking. Use the link to print your certificate at home.
Social partners
Are there two social partners?
That’s right! Our main sponsor, Erbe Elektromedizin GmbH, supports an international organisation in addition to our regional social partner. You support Doctors Without Borders by taking part in the Virtual Charity Run, and our regional social partner by passing through the donation gate at the Erbe Lauf.
