Marathon Obstacles: The third and most exciting phase is the "Obstacles". |
||||||||||||||||
|
These are posts and rails which make "gates" which have to be negotiated in order - A, B, C, D, E and sometimes F. Two obstacles are built in the ring with a common entry/exit gate between them in the centre of the ring. The competitors choose their routes and then they compete against the clock, in reverse order, the class leader going last. The gates of the obstacles are then altered and redriven by all the competitors giving four obstacles in all. | |||||||||||||||
| When all the classes have driven obstacles one and two, they are changed into obstacles three and four. Again, the competitors choose their routes and drive the obstacles in their classes and ranking. | ||||||||||||||||
| This section is scored one mark per second that the competitor is in the obstacle zone. Their is no limit to the number of knockdowns used and they are scored at five marks each. All other penalties are as per the B.H.D.T.A. rules. All penalty marks are then added to the times taken for the obstacle to produce the final score for this section. Some clubs and areas run their events slightly differently. | ||||||||||||||||
