A: Cut-off time is 24, 12, 4 hours for Pro, Adventure and Lite courses respectively. Teams finishing late will be penalised. 4 extra minutes for every started minute after Cut-off. It means that if you doing Lite course for example and you come up to finish 4 minutes 30 seconds later than 4 hours after the race start your result will be 4:24:30. Teams finishing more than thirty minutes late will be disqualified.

 

 

Q: Will it be any cut-off times in the middle of the course?

 

A: Yes, it will be cut-off times for certain stages outlined at the course description distributed along with maps and other race info. These cut-offs mean you will go short course.
