A fair comparison
Team Moon has much farther to travel, so the teams are compared by how much of their own route they have completed. That keeps the friendly race fair even when the raw mileage differs.
The virtual markers are based on total distance. They are not live GPS positions and do not reveal anyone’s precise running route.
