Provisional schedule — subject to change by the organiser.

Times are the official provisional start-wave windows (subject to change). Individual start times are linked about 3 days before the event and cannot be changed. On-site registration opens per division 90 minutes before its first start wave; Friday racers can check in early on Thursday 13 August, 13:00–18:00 at the CTICC.

Your race wristband gives venue access only on the day of your race — entering on any other day requires a spectator ticket (single-day, sold per day).
