Wave Starts
Our 21.1k, 10k and 5k distances will have waves to assist you at the start line so you know when to begin. Listen to the announcements so you know when it's your turn to line up.
Top placegetters (1st, 2nd and 3rd male and female) for all distances will be calculated on gun time. However, all participants will receive a net time, so unless you're trying to win, don't worry about starting when the horn goes off - you'll receive a time from when you cross the start timing mat.
