Race questions
Is the course really flat?
Mostly. There is one gentle rise between 6 and 8 km. The rest rolls by less than ten metres.
Is the course measured?
Yes, measured by a certified course measurer, so your time counts for qualifying where accepted.
Can I run with headphones?
Yes, at a volume that lets you hear marshals and bikes. Not in the front wave.
See you on 16 Jan 2027.
