Scoring

How the result works

Watches and phones stay hidden after the start; no blindfolds, blocked vision, or unsafe restrictions.

Example: Each player calls a recovery pace or easy-effort target before starting.

Host tip

Keep it clean

Starting before the route, station, or finish area is clear. Inspect and reset it first.

Safety: Use a suitable route and pace, warm up when needed, respect weather and surfaces, and stop for pain, dizziness, traffic, or unsafe conditions.
