Men’s / Women’s Eliminator:

Caution! This race could get interesting! The eliminator is a ‘last person standing’, 3 lap affair, with the field being reduced after each lap.

Each lap will be followed by a 2-minute break that begins the moment the winner of the lap crosses the finish line. Selection & field size for the eliminator will be announced Thursday 15th of May at 8pm.

Those interested in being selected to compete in the eliminator need to express interest and provide a recent 5k time via their club entry.  This race is open for all registered runners in the U18 grade (i.e. 16 years age and over at 31/12/25) who feel they are up for this challenge. 

​

Example:

18-person field, first 12 through the line go through to the second lap, first 6 through the line go through to the third and final lap (minimum of 6 people will start the third lap, regardless of field size).
