Sparta

Multirun, fixed 42 km total, as many runs as needed inside the dates. Scoring follows the mechanic — best total time on the distance once work is verified (detail in the Rulebook).

Clock (UTC). The race is open UTC from 00:00 on 1 November through 23:59 on 30 November. Only runs published to Sparta in that span count; how the forty-two kilometres split across days is up to the entrant, within format and verification rules.

After the period ends. 30 November closes the live phase; official standings follow later. A gap of a few days before Results out is normal; heavier fields can take longer while verification clears. Provisional order can move until the race is Results out.

Forty-two kilometres across the whole of November: a marathon distance, in one run or in as many as it takes. The dates do not wait for a late start to become a plan.

November is already stacked when this race opens. Guadalajara (Open) runs through 15 November. Wild West occupies 10–20 November — same Legends series, 21 km Multirun. Lisbon (100 km) opens on the 16th and runs through 31 December. Delta (Distance Ladder, 100 km) stays live until 20 December. Thunderstorm covers the whole quarter.

• One 42 vs many runs — Close it as a marathon day, or accumulate. The number is still forty-two.

• How to live with November — Wild West sits inside these dates. Lisbon opens mid-month and asks for volume of its own. Taking them on does not pause this race.

• Enter vs stay out — A defined 42 km with proof, or no line on this race. It is the first mark of the Legends collection on the board and the season’s marathon line; skipping it is a choice that registers.

A completed 42 km multirun is a clean line: finished or not, inside the UTC dates or not. Late entry still works if the kilometres fit before 23:59 on 30 November UTC.

At Results out, the race locks; until then, provisional standings may still move.
