The biggest men’s class is M65 with 385 taking part, and the biggest women’s is W65 with 212.
There are 5 days of competition – two with Sprint and three over Long Distance. The Sprint Qualification and Final on Sunday and Monday both take place in Eriksberg, a down-town area of Gothenburg north of the river. The two qualification races at Long Distance are on Wednesday and Thursday at Delsjön in the outskirts of Gothenburg, and the Long Distance Final is on Saturday at Skatås.
