Scoring

How the result works

Before starting, agree whether the round is run, jog, walk, or mixed-pace.

Example: Split into teams and assign each teammate one leg between the landmarks.

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.
