time trial format

A time trial format involves individual competitors racing against the clock rather than directly against each other. Each participant starts separately and completes a set course, with their goal being to finish in the shortest possible time. The winner is the person with the fastest finish time. This format emphasizes individual performance, technique, and pace, and is commonly used in cycling, running, and racing events to determine the quickest athlete without direct head-to-head competition at any given moment.
