Start Time Allocations
Understandably, there have been very many requests for people to have start times that will allow them to complete their runs in time to spectate at the WOC races. We've tried hard to accommodate as many requests as we can.
Due to the sheer volume of requests not everyone will have the start times that they'd have wished for. This has had to be balanced against offering flexible start times for helpers and WOC volunteers, as well as trying to adhere to the traditional policy of keeping people from the same club in the same start block, allocating split start times for parents, and giving everyone an even spread of early, middle and late starts to even out the advantage gained by later runners when the forest has "tracked up" and undergrowth has been flattened by all the early runners.
Rest assured that there has been a lot of effort put in to producing the best set of start times that we can manage against a set of difficult constraints.
If you need a change, please approach the volunteers managing entries with those thoughts in mind.
