Frequently Asked Questions

When does the registration open?
Registration for the Business Run opens on Monday 19 February 2024.

When does the registration close?
Registration closes Monday 9 September 2024, unless we sell out earlier.

How does the number of entries per team work?
A team consists of 10 participants. In the registration module, you order one team, for which you will receive 10 bib numbers. It is also possible to participate with fewer than 10 participants, in that case you will of course receive the remaining bib numbers. We always recommend filling the teams completely.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to add individual tickets to a Business registration. You will then have to buy a new team, which you can also supplement with business associates, friends or acquaintances. The results of the five fastest participants of the team will be used for the results. If you have fewer than five participants, your team will not appear in the results.

How does the volume discount work when buying several teams?
The more teams, the higher the discount. The volume discount also applies when you combine teams for different categories and distances. Please note, the discount is applied per order.

When purchasing 5 to 9 teams = 5% discount
When purchasing 10 to 14 teams = 10% discount
When purchasing 15 teams or more = 15% discount

Do I need team members' details to register?
It is mandatory, due to safety during the event, that all tickets are assigned no later than 1 day before the event. So this does not have to be done immediately upon registration. It is advisable to assign the tickets before the change deadline of 12 August 2024, that way the correct name will appear on the physical bib number (on the back). If you registered later than 12 August 2024, it is advisable to assign the tickets immediately.

You tick 'I don't know yet' to continue with the registration if you cannot yet fill in the names of the participants.

Next, you choose your team name, which you will see on the back of the starting numbers and in the results afterwards. If you purchase multiple teams, the system will automatically generate new team names, as an example: Le Champion is the team name, the following teams will then be Le Champion (2), Le Champion (3) etc.

Assigning tickets is temporarily not possible between 12 August 2024 and 9 September 2024.

How do I assign tickets to my team members?
Open your dashboard and either share the registration link to let a team member claim a ticket.

Or open the remaining tickets and choose: invite a participant, share a unique registration link or enter details manually yourself.

Until when can I assign tickets to my team members?
The change deadline is 12 August 2024 to give us enough time to send bib numbers to the correct address.

Assigning tickets is temporarily not possible between 12 August 2024 and 9 September 2024.

From 12 August 2024, you can still assign remaining tickets, but these changes will then no longer be included in the production and shipping of the bib numbers. You will receive these bib numbers at your invoice address. If you have a foreign invoice address, you will need to collect the bib numbers from the helpdesk at the event.

I entered an incorrect e-mail address when allocating, what now?
Open your dashboard, open the relevant ticket and select 'Edit registration' under 'Details' to change the e-mail address.

How can I pay my Business teams by invoice?
During registration, choose 'Place order as a company' and 'Bank transfer (invoice)' to pay by invoice.

Where can I find my invoice and how do I pay it?
You can find the invoice in your dashboard. You can transfer the amount to Mollie Payments, stating the payment Reference.

The payment to Mollie Payments has been refunded. What happens next?
Most likely, a payment was made to Mollie Payments without mentioning the payment Reference.

In that case, the payment fails and the money is automatically returned to you. You can make another payment to Mollie Payments, stating the payment Reference.

The payment Reference can be found on the invoice. Open your dashboard and open the relevant invoice for the payment details.

I have paid, but the invoice is still open in my dashboard. How is that possible?
The payment has probably been refunded because it was paid without (the correct) payment Reference. See the information above.

I forgot to pass on a reference/PO number. What should I do now?
Open your dashboard, open the invoice and edit the 'Invoice details'. You can then download the modified invoice via the download icon next to the amount.

What happens if I pay the invoice late?
If payment is not made, is late or incomplete, or if the direct debit fails, you are in default and Le Champion has the right to charge statutory interest. You will receive a reminder and be given a further 14 days to pay. If payment is not made, you will receive a reminder and Le Champion has the right to charge collection costs. If payment is not made, Le Champion may discontinue any service until the payment owed by you has been received. If necessary, Le Champion will hand the claim over to a collection agency.

Where will the bib numbers be delivered?
If you choose 'Invoice address', you will receive all bib numbers, consumption vouchers and wristbands at this address. Please note! You need to fill in the invoice address at the payment step.

If you choose 'Address participant', each participant will receive the bib number, consumption voucher and wristband at the address specified by the participant after the ticket has been assigned.

If the participant does not complete their address by 12 August 2024, it will still be sent to the invoice address. Open your dashboard and look under 'Invoices' to see what you have opted for. For orders made after 12 August, the participant must complete their details immediately.

When will the bib numbers be delivered?
Bib numbers will be delivered no later than the week of the event. If you have chosen shipping to 'Invoice address', you will receive a tracking link. Didn't receive anything? Then get in touch via the contact form.
