How to read
Place is the position among timed finishers in the same race, division and gender; a doubles place is the team's. Runs is the organiser's official run total (it can differ from the eight laps added up by a few seconds), stations the eight stations added up, and roxzone the time moving between them. A dash in runs, stations and roxzone on a result from the live results service means the splits are not in yet (finish time only). The age group is the one entered for that race. A dash means the organiser did not publish that number for the result.
