Note course lengths have been calculated according to the 2024 rules, as they stand at 1 Jan 2024. Lengths are now measured as “….the shortest route which a competitor could reasonably possibly take….(Rule 17.5)” for all events. As this method effectively shortens courses compared to the 2023 Rules course lengths have generally been planned towards the top of the given range, particularly for the longer courses.
