With the first race of the season already wrapped up competition for positions will now start in earnest as teams start to take up positions.
The first race saw a lower number of participants than had been initially expected. With Carpe Diem also known to have now split into two entities, the original Carpe Diem and a new team which has formed into Carpe Orion, a more recreational running team, the numbers competiting are not expected to be the same as similar past years. Already some runners from the more recreational split have indicated that they are happy to stay away from team competition events and to continue as they are.
Some of the top runners who missed the first race of the season are expected to be making a return as runners have to meet a certain number of races to lose ground in the overall competition.
