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.

GOLD: to all with 40+ TT
