Day 3 (long) - Sunday 4th April – Penhale Sands

This is an IOF World Ranking Event

Arena: Part of the touring and camping area at Perran Sands Holiday Park.

Will be on Perranporth Airfield and everyone will be bussed to the arena.

Day 3 starts for elites are based on Day 2 results, and posted on the SPORTident results page on Saturday evening. However, to estimate your start time, the last starts on each elite course will be as follows, and work backwards with 3 minute intervals, with competitors who did not record a result in the corresponding elite class on Saturday starting first:

• W18/20E         - 13:40
• W21E               - 13:50
• M18/20E         - 13:59
• M21E               - 14:00 (note: if there are too many entrants to fit within a 4 hour window with 3 minute intervals, the start window may be extended backwards until 09:30, and the first few starters may be at 2 minute intervals if necessary)

Prize giving: The JK combined middle + long prize giving (all classes) will take place at 15:30. Prizes will be awarded to 1st, 2nd and 3rd in each of M/W10-16A, M/W18-21E, M/W35-70L+M75L, and W75, M/W80-90 classes.
