For the age categories that have an elite class (18,20,21) - why aren't the long courses (e.g. M21L) long on day 2?
All the classes seem to have a middle race.
Lengths last year: M21L > M21E (day2) and M21E > M21L (day3)

Re: JK 2017
Day 2 is Middle Distance for everyone this year.
I think this is a one-off but suspect it might become the norm.

Re: JK 2017
Hopefully...
However, It does seems a bit odd that the M21L course should be shorter than M21E at a middle race. And even more odd the M20L should run a shorter course than M20E (which is itself shortened to a 20-25 minute winning time to be consistent with the JWOC course length) - The M20L course is only 200m further than M70L!

Re: JK 2017
Does anyone know if days 2 and 3 are possible without a car? I'm wondering about going as my dad is in Surrey but only have Fri-Mon off so would get the sleeper there and back. I could take a foldable bike on the train. I suspect it's not really possible particularly day 2.

It also seems a bit odd that M21S has a longer "short" course than "middle" course.
Me, I just looked for the distance I fancied and entered that. I'm now looking forward to a couple of enjoyable runs.

Well you could have asked Event Enquiries who would have told you. The answer is no, not really feasible

Re: JK 2017
The pre event publicity and the event website have spelt out quite clearly that Day 2 is a Middle distance race for all classes, whilst Day 3 is a Long course for everyone. This is spelt out in particular detail on the course lengths page.
In previous year's day 2 was only a Middle distance race for the Elite classes, all other classes were 'Long' (actually specified as 90% of Champioship length since there were 2 Long days back-to-back). Hence, for example, M21L was longer than M21E on Day 2 because one was a Long Course and the other was a Middle. And on Day 3 M21E was longer because both were defined as Long courses.

And I had thought that it had already started - at least having attended 3 of the 4 'pre-JK' events it feels a bit like that. Thanks to TVOC (or perhaps more accurately Roger Thetford) for last night's dumbbell score event. Pity I forgot to adopt a sensible strategy before setting off. Great fun though.
