Net time is the time the participant crosses the start line until they cross the finish line. This is how results are displayed on the website, and will be used to award aged category places. These times are for participant information only and are not used to determine place getters. Placegetters are determined by gun time – the first three male and females across the finish line.

Where possible, the event will be rescheduled. If this happens, all registered athletes will be automatically transferred to the new event date.

We will provide as much notice as we can. If the new date doesn’t work for you, we will provide other options such as an Event Credit, which can be used toward any Sole Motive event.
