Using the table on race day
Each row shows time since the previous row. Halfway marks exactly half the distance, so kilometer 22 is split across two rows. The final section is 195 meters. Do not add rounded segment times to recover the finish time.
Pace and times use whole seconds. Checkpoints use the target time and distance without intermediate rounding.
Frequently asked questions
What pace is needed?
The average pace is 3:33 min/km. Pace uses whole seconds; checkpoints are calculated from the target time without intermediate rounding.
What if my GPS watch records a longer distance?
The table uses the official race distance, not GPS distance. Corners, your running line and measurement error can add meters on a watch. Check official course markers.
