What are the 'Start Zones'?
A large number of people now attend the event. In the past, we have asked everybody to come to one location to pack their team packs and then start their day. This meant we asked a lot from the area we marked as our Start Location. We have moved to a 'hybrid start' to alleviate this issue.
We now have 3 Start Zones:
Waterloo
Hyde Park
Regents Park
As a group, you must select one of those three locations from which all your teams will start (your group coordinator does this). We only have limited spaces at each location (approximately 1/3rd of the total groups registered). When it's your team's time to start their day, they will need to "Check in" via the app at the Start Zone for your group.
We call it a 'Hybrid Start' because team packs will be distributed digitally to all teams on the morning of the Run. More information about the Team Packs can be found here - When do we get the team packs & badges?
With these changes, we hope to have fewer people in one location at one time. It will also mean that teams will only need to be at their Start Zone for a short time (~10 minutes before their start time).
After the cut-off deadline, no changes to Start Zones can be made. This is because we are working on getting all the data in a suitable position for the day of the Run, i.e. allocating teams to games, which is based on a number of points of data but specifically the Start Zone.
