Detailed stage schedule:
We are running two tracks, the Nelson on the south side and Fabi on the North. We plan on having two run groups, A & B and they will alternate between tracks before combining as one group for the long track. After lunch they do it all again in the opposite direction. The participants in each run group will be determined on Wednesday evening.

Routebooks
The routebooks for this event are somewhat different to the distance and Tulips we normally see. Instead we are using diagrams of the various tracks; there isn’t much opportunity to get lost or go off route. We publishing the route books so you can have a look and familiarize yourself with the format.
Group A Routebook (15Mb)
Group B Routebook (15Mb)
Of course, we’ll have printed copies when you register.
