The junior handicap will be run over the usual course approx 3.5km.
The first race will be run on Wed 18 Apr 12 starting early to ensure all are back before the sun sets. The first race will be based on runners' average handicap times from 2011 so the first race will count. All newcomers will start at the midway point and will count. All subsequent junior races will be based on the average handicap times from the previous 2012 races. Boys and girls will be handicapped and run together but results will be split male and female. As the handicap series is a competition, family members are not to run with their children - though adults are encouraged to stand along the route to supplement marshalls, coaches etc. The 6 best positions from the 7 races will count.
