The route involves several extreme changes in velocity in order to jump to, and drop out of, light speed with the minimum time spent out of hyperspace while making drops, pick ups or tight turns. The time to perform the run proved too difficult to arbitrate (due to the highly relativistic speeds and distances involved) but a fierce competition developed nonetheless, for the pilot and ship able to make the run while covering the shortest overall distance demonstrating the most adept maneuverability and pilotage

Still irks me they used a measure of distance as a reference to time it took to complete.
