Proposal 130: delete section 3D.14 Special Marathon Events [ Revision 1 ]
Committee: 3. Road RacingSubmitted on 2025-07-20
Status: Passed on August 10, 2025
Background
With the revision of section 3D.10.3 Mass Start and the creation of a section on drafting, the content of the 3D.14 section seems obsolete to me.
If drafting with non-unicyclist competitors is not allowed, it should be avoided to organize a start that includes unicyclists and non-unicyclists.
The rest of the section's content adds nothing to the other rules.
Proposal
Old rule:
3D.14 Special Marathon Events
Exceptions from the default rules may be allowed for a marathon race that is embedded in a big city marathon.This allows the unicycling organizer to follow some requirements of the main marathon organizer in order for the unicycling marathon to fit within the larger event.
The following exceptions to the rules may be made:
• Mass start / Group start (Mass start could be forced by the main host for schedule requirements)
• Start groups do not have to separate males/females and/or wheel sizes
• Netto times (time from when the rider's wheel crosses the start line) can be used for placements while the Brutto time (time from when the race is started) counts for records.
New rule:
