#ZeroHungerRun FAQ Bonn

In our FAQ section, we provide brief and concise answers to the most frequently asked questions about the #ZeroHungerRun Bonn 2025.

Who is Welthungerhilfe (WHH) and what happens to my donation?

WHH is one of the largest private aid organizations in Germany. It provides aid from a single source: from rapid disaster relief and reconstruction to long-term development cooperation projects with local partner organizations based on the principle of helping people to help themselves. Since its foundation in 1962, more than 12,000 foreign projects have been supported in around 72 countries––for a world without hunger and poverty. We use your donation where it is needed most. Every contribution helps us get closer to our #ZeroHunger goal.

Do I need my own chip to participate?

No. We use a single-use chip for timekeeping. We will issue this chip with the start documents.

How do I sign up?

How does the timekeeping work?

The company Cologne Timing is responsible for timekeeping using the Raceresult Timing System. They record the timing via an integrated chip in the start number.

All the necessary data is stored on the chip and read and forwarded by a floor mat to record the runner's start and finish times at the decisive moment.

The award ceremony will take place in the start/finish area at the Japanese Garden.

The first three women and men in each race will be honored. Also the best three teams.

Where can I get photos of the run?

A photographer from WHH will take selected photos on-site, which we will send you a link to after the run. We will also set up a beautiful #ZHR photo wall as a backdrop for your photos and look forward to your photo posts on your social media channels.

When and where can I see the results and get my certificate?

The list of results will be linked on the page as soon as possible. You can also view and print out your certificate on our partner's website. Each race's top three runners and teams will be honored on-site and receive a certificate.

What happens in case of bad weather?

As the German saying goes: There is no bad weather, only bad clothing. The run will take place in any weather. However, the organizer reserves the right to make changes to the event to adapt to weather conditions.

Will there be catering on site?

Light refreshments and non-alcoholic drinks will be free for the runners. A small but excellent range of food and beverages will also be available for everyone.
