Day 1 - Individual Start
String Course
You can start on the String Course (classes MN10NR) at any time between 14:00 and 16:00.
All Classes (excl. String Course)
- The start interval is 2 minutes for all other classes.
- Enter the start area 2 minutes before your start time.
- Judges will check the SI number and bib number for accuracy.
- The start takes place next to the bucket of maps. Participants are responsible for taking the correct map.
- Additional legends and confirmation materials are available near the start area, but tape assistance is not guaranteed.
Day 2 - Interval Start
The start list for the second day will be posted on the event website www.suvejooks.ee and in the competition center immediately after its completion.
String Course
You can start on the String Course (classes MN10NR) at any time between 11:00 and 13:00.
All Classes (excl. String Course)
- Interval start.
- The best participant in each class starts first, followed by the others according to their time difference from the first day.
- Participants who lost more than 30 minutes on the first day without a result will be sent to the course at a 2-minute interval.
- On the second day, there is a dispersion, so no additional legends are provided. The relevant information is indicated on the edge of the map.
- Enter the start corridor 3 minutes before your start time, one minute at a time.
- Note! Please do not change the queue in the start corridor.
- The start is given according to the ticking start clock on the computer monitor. The start is indicated by 1 beep (there are no pre-beeps).
- The start takes place from the start line. Participants take the map with their class's identifying number from the map bucket (or from the start table under the guidance of the official) during their race time. Participants are responsible for taking the correct map.
Interval Start Calculation
- The first participant's start time = the class's start time + minutes from the previous day (without tenths) and seconds.
- For example:
- If the winner's time on the first day was 00:45:32 and the class start time is indicated as 10:25:00, their actual start time would be 10:30:32.
- Calculation: 10:25:00 + 00:05:32
- For example:
- Each subsequent participant from the same class starts their race according to their time loss from the leader.
- Participants who lost to the leader less than 30 minutes on the first day will start according to interval start rules.
- Participants who lost to the leader more than 30 minutes on the first day will start at 2-minute intervals after the other competitors.
