‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

Course details are below.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

Relay teams, where their Leg 2 runner has not returned by 12:30 pm, will have their Leg 3 runner begin at this point. Where the Leg 3 runner has not returned by 2:15 pm, the Leg 4 runner will be set off at this point. This will help to ensure that the day runs smoothly with most people finishing the event, but being wrapped up by ~4 pm.
