Time Trials:

There are 2 official time trials (4km and 8km) during the week:

Tuesday and Thursday—17:45 during summer and 17:30 during winter times

There are time keepers in the evenings, but it is each athlete’s responsibility to see that his/her time is recorded.  Only the timekeepers and Snoepie workers can run before time trail.  Although we have a reasonably safe route, be careful and try to run in single file.  REFLECTOR belts must be worn from APRIL till the end of September. A trophy will be awarded to the athlete who runs the most 4km and 8km time trials.  Only one 4km and one 8km time trial a week will count.
