Bruce 3 still seem to be making a direct line for Endpoint… it’s been an hour since they left the Smokers Trail intersection. They have travelled about 1 km in this time. If we generously assume that the vegetation doesn’t get worse, they remain directly on bearing, the 550m of elevation gain they’d have to climb doesn’t affect their pace, and they don’t fatigue, they could possibly make it the 7.2 remaining kilometres to Endpoint by about 7pm (well after the 5pm cut-off).

Div 7's Drop is a bit of a classic on the edge of Pierce's Creek Pine Forest along Ash Rd. Teams should hopefully identify Tidbinbilla range to the west an relatively quickly head south and onto Oakey Creek Road before navigating the rest of course. Teams that head north should also hit Oakey Creek Road just about 2km earlier adding another ~ 15 minutes to their run. Hopefully no team heads up the firetrail to tidbinbilla ridge firetrail, as this will add ton ton of vert and likely over an hour of running time but at least they will get nice views of the sunrise from up there. … Read more.

This variable window scout time sure caused a stir at the runners briefing.

We'll keep you updated on heading south leads to private property. Teams heading North, will have to make an immediate decision to head up Honeysuckle Trail or to Piccadilly Circus via the powerlines adjacent to Brindabella Rd.

The predictor is now up and running!, at the start will be super volatile and likely under estimate time of arrival just after drop (over estimate eventual overall average GAP (Gradient Adjusted Pace)) as typically teams start off hot/fast (see below graph of speeds of historical IB teams) with it taking time for teams to settle in a rhythm and on a route. It also assumes optimal navving which is probably unlikely, only accounting for the terrain and distance of the optimal route ahead.
