The leaderboard
If you tick the leaderboard box when you enter, you appear as your first name and last initial. If you don't, you appear as "Athlete" and a number. You can change your mind at any time — email us and we'll switch it.
Ties are broken by whoever reached the score first.
The cut-off
Standings are final at 31 January 2027. We'll email the top 500 to confirm their Founding Athlete place. If someone doesn't respond within 14 days, their place passes to the next athlete on the board.
