Media Tent
A media tent will be set up in each arena to provide the necessary facilities. Here you will find all the information about the races and the World Championship, receive printed materials, handle additional accreditations, connect to Wi-Fi, and charge your electronic devices. We also offer light refreshments.
Photography
We welcome all photographers and other audiovisual content creators. However, please note that access to the race area is very limited and specific rules of movement and behaviour apply. We ask photographers who wish to enter the race area to arrive well in advance of the race start at the media tent for a photography briefing. Access to the race area may not be granted without attending the briefing.
