Participants of a road race that crosses the Danish-German border must carry a passport or other valid travel document, while pounding the pavement during the annual event, TV Syd reports. South Jutland police has asked the approximately 400 participants of the Grænseløbet/Der Grenzlauf (Border Race) event to bring valid travel documents for the approximately 12-kilometre route, which travels from Denmark into Germany and then back again. We think it is really good that we can cross the border without passports in this day and age,“ Morten Harmuth, Chairman of Grænseløbet, told TV Syd. The German police more simply require a list of names and race numbers of all participants, according to the report.
