Elite Runners
Elite runners have 2 World Ranking Events (WRE) during the ASOM weekend:
Friday: KO Sprint WRE Qualifications
Saturday: KO Sprint WRE Finals
Sunday: Sprint WRE
If runners are knocked out on Friday, they can participate at the ‘normal’ ASOM races on Saturday.
We are looking into possibilities to organise a Knock Out B final for Knocked Out Runners, but as this is a very complex organisation, we can not guarantee this.
Registrations close 18/4/2025.
