Cut-off
-
•Race control monitors each team's speed around the course and will consider other factors (eg remaining daylight, remaining distance, observed fatigue levels, navigational ability) before instructing a withdrawal.
-
•Any team which, in the opinion of race control, will not complete its course within 12 hours or by 18:00 (whichever is the later), may be withdrawn irrespective of which course that team is attempting to complete.
-
•Any team which is attempting the 30 mile course and fails to reach Checkpoint 2 within 3 hours will be re-routed onto the 30 km course.
-
•As a rule of thumb, teams should aim to average 2.5 miles/4 km an hour although please note that checkpoint staff have the authority to withdraw a team for any reason even, in some circumstances, when the above speed is maintained.
