TIME GATES
The time barriers have been calculated to give you the best possible chance of finishing the race, and have been pushed back as far as possible. No runner will be allowed to continue the race beyond these precise times (zero tolerance) for obvious reasons of safety, organization and to be able to finish within the 3:30 p.m. deadline. The organization therefore advises you to manage your race with a certain margin in relation to these barriers to finish in good conditions.
