Behind the start line

We build every course ourselves.

Before a single runner arrives, our team walks the ground, plans the route and marks it by hand.

  • Routes designed and curated by RunActiv
  • Courses GPS-measured, with the GPX shared before race day
  • Chip timing, with results checked against timing points
  • Published rules, medical support and a technical race director
