Time limits
Marathon cut-offs
The finish time limit of every destination marathon, sorted tightest first, with the pace each limit asks for and the intermediate cut-offs along the course.
How long each race waits for you at the finish, and the pace that limit asks for over the whole distance. Where a race also closes points along the course, those are listed with the pace from the start to that kilometre. Every pace is rounded down, so holding the printed pace gets you in.
78 of 113 destination races with a finish limit listed. A race with no cut-off on file reads not published.
