BMI Cannonball #6

Race description

BMI Running & Motion proudly presents the sixth edition of BMI Cannonball, which is once again part of the Martinsen Midtjysk Mini Major race series (separate registration for the race series, see the drop-down menu at the top right. Subject to sold-out race series, but BMI Cannonball still has spots available). The route starts at Egelundhallen between Beder and Malling, Bredgade 5, 8340 Malling (this year the race is not part of the Beder-Malling Town Festival, so parking is available at the hall). The race takes place on a loop course of 7.03 km, allowing for distances of 7 km, 14 km, and an official half marathon. The distance is selected during registration on Sportstiming. The surface is asphalt and gravel paths, and the route is extremely flat. There will be aid stations after each lap (i.e., after 7, 14, and 21.097 km) – the aid station will include water, cola, candy, chips, and whatever else we can think of that is fun. SuperBrugsen Malling and SuperBrugsen Beder will compete to provide good refreshments at the aid station. EVERYONE is responsible for helping with cleanup – please use the provided bags/containers. After the race, we will offer a small treat in the form of a goodie bag with sandwiches, cake, and maybe a little something extra. As always, there will be a specially made medal at the finish, which Pokalforum in Beder has helped us with. There are facilities for showering and changing at Egelundhallen (not the swimming pool's changing rooms), where toilets are also available. There is an option to leave bags and belongings in the changing rooms, but at your own risk. The maximum completion time for the race is 3 hours, but an Early Start is possible. Late registration on the day (+50 kr.) is available if spots are not sold out. Maximum number of participants: 150. The start for all distances is at 9:00 AM. Early Start at 8:30 AM for half marathon runners who take more than 2 hours and 15 minutes. NOTE: Early Start is NOT a convenience start, but a service for slightly slower runners, so they have the opportunity to participate in the social gathering after the race, which we consider very important. Runners starting at 8:30 AM cannot achieve a time under 2:15! Price for all distances: 100 kr. (+ fee). There is a 25 kr. discount for members of the Danish Half Marathon Club – registrations will be checked against the official membership list. Cheating will result in cancellation of registration without a refund. Registration opens on January 1, 2024. If the race is canceled, the participant fee will of course be refunded (but not the fee to Sportstiming). The race is conducted according to the rules of the Danish Half Marathon Club and Klub 100 Half Marathon, meaning the auto-stop must be turned off on the running watch, and the time may not be stopped during the race. The time is recorded at the finish and announced as soon as possible on Sportstiming. Here, the diploma can also be downloaded afterwards. The usual traffic rules must be followed - i.e., keep to the left on public roads, and do not run side by side on the road. There is one road crossing on the route (staffed with officials), so keep a close eye and watch for traffic. The route can be viewed here: https://www.plotaroute.com/route/1801458 Runners will have a race number - with their name if registered at least a week before the race.

Our usual food supplier after the race, Madplan, will take care of hunger. Ariana Blomster in Malling would like to be our sponsor again, and we are very pleased about that. Malling Pizza & Grill is also back as a sponsor, and we welcome them. Martin Rådgivning & Revision is once again a sponsor of the race, and we are very happy to have them on board. Martinsen is also a sponsor of the MMMM race series. For the MMMM race series, AROS BOARD is also a medal sponsor. As a sponsor, we are pleased to welcome danbolig Beder back this year, and we greatly appreciate it.
