Competitors are advised to enter the correct course for their age class. Positions in the championship table are based on calculated running pace, i.e. actual pace in minutes per kilometre adjusted by a "fiddle factor" which takes age into account. The designated courses and fiddle factors for each age class are given in the table below:
