We are excited to continue with the latest instalment of the Limitless Trails BYU Series. With a little twist to the rules.
We intend to give medals to anyone who reaches 32 miles ie ULTRA, the last person standing will be allocated the winner's TROPHY.
Set just outside Crickhowell deep in the Black Mountains the route is 50/50 Trail and Tarmac, with only one gradual climb and a short steep section, the rest is relatively flat terrain which means fast.
You will be fed & watered, with additional hot food after the 5th yard.
Here are the rules :
We have a 4.167 mile loop
1/ Starting Corral
Participants must be in the starting corral at the bell
2/ Starts
. Each loop starts precisely 1 hour after the last
. Runners will be given 3, 2, and 1 minutes prior to start
. All competitors must start at the bell (no late starts)
3/ Loops
. Except for restrooms, competitors may not leave the course until each loop is completed
. No non-competitors on the course (including eliminated runners)
. No personal aid during a loop (common aid stations are allowed) one will be at HQ
. Each loop must be completed within an hour to be counted… including the final lap.
. No artificial aids (including trekking poles)
. Slower runners must allow passes.
5/ Timing
. Timing of the loops is optional - we will have timing
6/ Winner/Results
. The winner is the last person to complete a loop
. All others are technically DNF if they finish before 32 miles
. Results of each runner in terms of distance covered will be given.
