What happens if I miss a cut-off?

Under the 2027 Entry Terms (clause 12.8), a runner who misses a route or finish cut-off must retire immediately, leave the route as directed and use the official withdrawal transport where instructed.

The cut-off locations and times for 2027 will be confirmed in the Final Race Instructions, after the start format has been approved. You must cross every timing point and comply with the cut-offs (clause 12.2).

You must also obey any instruction from authorised medical, safety, traffic or race personnel to slow down, stop, withdraw, be assessed or be transported, and the CMA may stop you starting or continuing for safety reasons (clause 9.5).
