I'm now registered for this race.

Koblenz is a reasonable bus journey fron Hahn Flughafen. So I'm flying Ryanair on Friday evening staying at the airport hotel and travelling to Koblenz on the Saturday morning.

I'm told it's a fast flat race alongside the Rhine. Many of the Alzenau folks set their PBs here.

Yes, I heard from some of the Germans that were at Sadinia that this is a great course - very fast and long - so probable PBs - will most probably do this race myself.

Merten and I are planning to go there as well - just need to check with our race calendar...

Tis on my list of races to do this year. I do hear nice things about it. Not sure about the transport side of things. It's near Koblenz. Not sure what airports are near by or if it is short enough to drive over the weekend.

Frankfurt Hahn Ryanair Airport might be the best option for this. They have buses to Koblenz IIRC.

I'm pretty sure I'm there for this one as well.

Just booked flights with Lufthansa to Cologne, 1 hour train ride which costs 16-20 euro each way. Flights were £80

Not sure where I'll be staying, but probably with one of my teammates as some of them live there.

Price is currently 49€ which is good.

Anyone god a clue what this means

That's what it says, pay on the day.
Are you sure you signed up correctly? The price for my entry is 45 EUR at the moment? 49 is what the runners pay...

Possible I did it wrong. I just checked the email and it says marathon not inline marathon. Embarassed

Cheers, that would be more suitable than reregistering for the inline race and then just turning up for one. However, it says Inliner in the email too so now I am just confused.
