Corral Pace Groups:

• Sub 5:00 min/km

• 5:00 – 5:59 min/km

• 7:00 – 7:59 min/km

Please choose the group that best matches your realistic race pace (not your goal pace) to help ensure a smooth experience for all participants. Corral entrances will be clearly marked and accessible from the side.

​

11. Penalization
Race organizers reserve the right to penalize or disqualify any runner for rule violations, unsafe behavior, or failure to follow instructions from race officials.

​
