Gross / Net times

The Finance Run is a running race in which the winners of the 5 and 10 kilometers actually cross the finish line first. This means that we rank on gross times. Indeed, if ranking is done on net time, it would be possible to cross the finish line in 2nd place and still be the fastest. However, the organization wants to maintain the competition element and honor the true 1st (fastest) runner across the finish line as the winner.
