How the winning team is selected

For every second that a runner’s actual finish time differs from their estimated finish time, the team receives two penalty points (if the runner is running a half-marathon or 5K) or one penalty point (if the runner is running a marathon or 10K). The team with the LOWEST number of points wins. If multiple teams have the same number of points, the faster team takes precedence. It is not permitted to stop before the finish line or anywhere along the course for the purpose of waiting for one’s estimated time. All team members must cross the finish line before the time limit (Marathon: 6 hours, Half Marathon: 3 hours, 10K: 90 minutes, 5K: 45 minutes).

What is the difference between the team competition and the relay?

In the team competition, a team consists of exactly 3 runners where each runner runs the full distance of the race (5K, 10K, half marathon or marathon) and each runner has an individual result recorded. Runners do not have to run the same distance. In addition, members estimate their individual finishing time at registration and the difference with actual results is calculated. Teams with the smallest difference win.

In a relay race, a team consists of 2 to 4 runners, with each runner running one or more legs of the distance (half marathon or marathon), and only the team’s name and result are shown in the results list (the runners’ names are not recorded). The fastest team in each category (MIXED, CORPORATE) wins. Read more about our relay race here
