These are the rules I guess.OOnegative wrote: »Just run fookin 5k to quote a much better race organiser from these parts than myself, be it looped, out and back or point to point, run 5k and by 5k i mean 3.10 miles or more!!. I don't want to hear oh i ran a course that has a lot of trees, or my Garmin was acting up on the day. Run 3.10 miles or more or your result ain't counting. I won't bend anymore rules, ye know whats expected so go train.
So downhills are allowed - point to point dowhnills are better

Would a running track be classed as a loop? Asking for a friend?0 -

Healy can procrastinate as much as he likes, there are some VERY fast runners in there...much,much quicker than my own exploits
I shall however, give it a good rattle and see what happens. 0 -

if he predicts above 16.50, then I'm out. :pac:
Sure he can use the same GPS friendly 40 looped route that he previously used.0 -

Hang on a minute ... within my 2km confinement area I can find a point-to-point course with a significant net downhill; maybe as much as 50-60 meters. The rules may allow it but surely it would be against the spirit of the competition, right? Mind you, come the 25th I may be looking for all the help available to get anywhere near my predicted time! :pac:0 -

I share your predicament. I have found a point to point with 66m net downhill and it just feels wrong. But if it's allowed and others are doing point to point or net downhills.....then join the party

Has this been binned then?OOnegative wrote: »Also, as has been pointed out to me, lapped routes only. Point to point won’t qualify.
Joking aside, lapped or out and backs are not that hard to find.
What’s the actual rule, for the record, before everything descends into chaos?
