Best idea they have come up with for sure

Assuming these races are run at a separate time to the National Title races where do they fit into the schedule of events?

The date appears to be set on the Sunday, so I'm just guessing it might both be run alongside the marathon, with a second start location for the shorter course (hence why you can't enter both community races)?
