I'm curious about these races how are they worked out, is there a fixed start and end position and racers make there own way or what?

thats quite a contradiction as you've just asked the question on the Internet and were looking for an answer on the internet.

It depends what the organisers have in mind, there is no standard set up. sometimes you will get all the checkpoints on your manifest and have to figure out the fastest route in a random order, you can have checkpoint to checkpoint races or pointsraces over a certain amount of time. It's all up to the imagination of the organisers.

No I'm not creative at all, and I have a road racing background so that should provide you with enough information...
