Vermeer

Classic, fixed 10 km, one run for the whole distance — no accumulation. Scoring follows the mechanic (detail in the Rulebook).

Clock (UTC). The race is open UTC from 00:00 on 8 October through 23:59 on 21 October. Only runs published to Vermeer in that span count.

After the period ends. 21 October 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.

Fourteen days in October for a single clean 10 km. The calendar is wide enough to pick a day; the kilometres cannot be split.

October is already stacked when this race opens. Quasar (50 km Multirun) runs through the 31st. Guadalajara (Open) started on the 1st and continues into mid-November. Delta (Distance Ladder, 100 km) opens on the 10th. Groza covers the whole quarter.

• When to run the ten — Early in the period, or toward 21 October with less room if the day slips. Quasar and Guadalajara stay live after this race closes. Skeleton (Classic, 15 km) opens two days later.

• Pace vs a clean 10 km — Classic asks for the whole distance in one verified run. How hard you go is a separate choice from whether the run counts.

• Enter vs stay out — A defined 10 km Classic, or no line on this race. Skipping it is a choice that registers.

A completed 10 km Classic is a clean line: finished or not, inside the UTC dates or not. Late entry still works if the run fits before 23:59 on 21 October UTC.

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