The map which was used had been available on the website of the race since few months back and everybody was allowed to train in the area. Not all of the runners were satisfied with this "solution" and expressed their opinion before (on alternativet's forum) and even during the race (wearing T-shirt criticisizing it). Now, the race is over but not the discussions. The organizers and the jury decided to cancel results of three classes (H21, H20 and H18) after receiving many protests (2 different last controls 10m from each other, many people misspunched, some did not because spectators were shouting at them .... some runners crossed water on a forbidden place but the red cross on the map was difficult to see ... and some more reasons). The organizers' headache must have started already after the qualification - their server crashed, startlists were delayed and no more live results/speaker voice were streamed from their website. I hope they do not get bitter.
