• Circulatory problems and breathing difficulties or problems with your body prior to the event day

If you feel ill, have breathing difficulties, feel a dizziness or pressure in your chest or increasing pain in muscles or joints, you should quit running. There is a lot of races but only “one” health.

The events medical personnel are asked to take every runner off the route who shows obvious health problems or has reached the time limit.

The following questionnaire should help you to determine whether you should look for medical examination prior to your activity or not. A preventive examination makes sense if you are between 35 and 60 years. If you are over 60 years and have answered at least one question with “Yes”, we recommend such an examination at any rate.

PAR-Q Health-Questionnaire

• Have you had unusual pain in your chest in the past 2 months?
• Have you ever fallen or collapsed because of dizziness or have you ever lost consciousness?
• Do you have problems with joints or bones which could get worse during physical strain?
• Have you ever been prescribed medication against high blood pressure or because of heart- or breathing problems?
• Can you think about any other reason for you not to do any sports without medical examination?
