How do the starts work?
Roughly one hour before the race starts, racers will be checked for the required safety equipment and will not be allowed to start without it. Ten minutes before the start, racers will line up behind a starting line according to their category. Racers will start with their equipment on. There will be a five minute warning, then a one minute warning, then a thirty second warning, after which the starting gun/horn will sound. The will be NO last second, “ready, set go” count down.
