Courses, entry and facilities
Competitors enter according to urban age class. Seniors may choose to “run up” into older classes; juniors must run their correct age class until their 16th birthday, after which they may choose to run up. Juniors are defined as under 21 on 31 December; full-time students aged 21 and over pay the junior rate. Two courses are aimed at newcomers and people without navigation experience; maps for those courses will be available before each run.
