Races normally have start times between 6:30pm and 7:30pm
Some races have a mass start
Most races have two courses - normally around 2.5km and 5km
Some races have a set course time rather than distance
Most of the races are in parkland, so competing in a T-shirt and trainers will normally be fine
Full leg cover may put you at a slight advantage for a couple of the events.
