In a marathon and half marathon the individual classification is done separately for male and female classes according to the DLV rules according to the order of finish and thus according to the gross time. In addition to the gross time, the net time is announced. The scoring in the age groups is based on the net time. When Duo-Marathon (Valuation women, men and mixed) net time is decisive for the awards ceremony.
The valuation for teams (women and men) will be performed without age classification in the marathon and half-marathon and is done by adding the net times of each top three of a team.
So please take care of a consistent association spelling.
