Let an agent identify the Four Days of Dunkirk and its format, relay editions, winners and route information from official sources, and route current entries and results to the organiser.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.
