We are running the race in a different way this year.
Each runner will be given a target time based on the winners time on the day ie. W+15 or W+25 The handicap winner is very unlikley to cross the line first and I will calculate the handicap results after the race and announce the winner at the Dinner in the evening.
There will be three mass starts at 10:00, 10:20 and 10:40 am. This list will tell you which start you will be in nearer the day. Slower runners will go at 10:00 am and faster runners will be off at 10:40 am, middling runners will start at 10:20 am.
The purpose of the handicap competition is to reward the person who puts in a special effort on the day and excels themselves. Runners new to Dark Peak or who do not race much can expect harsh treatment to guard against a fluke poor handicap. Everyone else can expect a harsh handicap also!
