It is a point to point race with the finish in a different location from the start. Parents are responsible for supervising their children and ensuring that they are safe. To this end, parents may want to race with their aspiring racer especially if they are younger. Please note, only our junior participants will receive medals. Alternatively, parents may want to arrange for someone to meet their child at the finish line.
