Are the elites given priority? I thought it would be a mix of self-seeded vs. elite.
I did Melissa's last year for fun and seeded myself with the 5min/km people, but ended up running closer to 4:45min/km for the whole thing so it was fun passing a bunch of people and was generally pretty excited. I thought, "wow, I can't see anybody else, I must have placed really well." Not so much. My wife and kids were waiting, and like "wow, what took you so long? so many runners came already already, we are bored!".
