Race Day Waves Explained
To keep things smooth and safe for our biggest event yet with 4,000 runners, the 2026 WHM will start in two separate waves:
-
Wave 1: Runners aiming for under 2 hours (including elites).
-
Wave 2: Runners aiming for 2–3 hours, plus the first member of ALL relay teams.
Your assigned wave number will be clearly printed on your race bib when you collect it. Please check your bib on race morning and line up in your designated wave area prior to start time to ensure a safe, efficient start for everyone.
