*Why spread rather than exact?

Because this is an orienteering route running race, you can easily end up running more, depending on how good you or your team is at navigating the map route and solving the trivia/puzzles. Thus, the exact distance you run will be up to you or your team.

Note: Almost every player who has participated in this race has said that time and distance were irrelevant, as they are so distracted by having fun navigating and solving the trivia/puzzles that they don’t even realize they are running a potentially long distance.
