The handicap race is a fantastic run to see if people can match their recent form, or beat it. The idea being that everyone finishes at the same time based on a complex array of algorithms and dark matter accelleration (estimation by the independent adjudicator). Slower runners start first, while the faster runners are progressively handicapped by adding on time before they follow the earlier starters.
