it should be clear from the text , MULTIPLES OF 500KM ; 1000KM is two times 500km, 1500KM is three times 500km , 2000km is four times 500 km etc , so these distances are included !

Nope! It IS clear from the text: "... 1250 km, or GREATER multiples of 500 km".
When I last checked, 1000km was not greater than 1250km - so it is excluded. (For 1500km and upwards we're all agreed.)
Perhaps not what they intended, but it IS what is written!
As Tim noted, that is at odds with the O&R rules. You may wish to agitate for change!

I just believe it is not very good wording and therefore open to interpretation;
May be " ....1250km, and multiples of 500km " would be more clear (multiples automatically means more than 1 x 500 km)??
Will be happy to send this information to the Sporting Code Committee Chairman if you agree!
