The recommendation at the end of the test is made available to you for your personal and voluntary further use. The PAPS test does not replace a visit to the doctor and cannot provide 100% certainty of an existing or emerging risk. The collected, non-personalized data will not be handed over to the organiser. The data may be used in anonymised and encrypted form for scientific purposes by the Medical Board of SCC EVENTS.","event_seven_continents_club_option":false,"event_seven_continents_club":"","custom_section_title":"","custom_media_text_block":{"content":"","media_type":"image","media_alignment":"right","media_image":"","media_video":null},"custom_section_title_2":"","custom_media_text_block_2":{"content":"","media_type":"image","media_alignment":"left","media_image":"","media_video":null},"event_testimonials":null,"event_reps":"","event_resources":{"bibrave":{"thumbnail_image":"","title":"","url":""},"course_animation":{"thumbnail_image":"","title":"","url":""},"course_map":{"thumbnail_image":"","title":"","url":""}},"related_events":"","event_booking_widget":"[ses package_ids=\"139\" site=\"au\"]\r\n\r\n[ses package_ids=\"140\" site=\"au\"]\r\n\r\n[ses package_ids=\"156\" site=\"au\"]\r\n\r\n](\"https:\/\/www.bmw-berlin-marathon.com\/fileadmin\/marathon\/0_files\/size_chart_both_deutsch.jpg\"){kind=link}
