I loved the social aspect & community of this event. It's basically a fun get together with a bunch of likeminded folks with some running involved! - Stewart WyllieThe idea is simple. One hour, one loop. Runner will run 6.7km/4.1667miles each loop. Bell rings every hour for another loop, until one runner remains. That one remaining runner then is the winner.
Runners will stand inside the corral for each start. No Late start!
If runner cannot complete the loop in an hour, they are considered DNF. Runner will surrender their bib to the table!
No substitute. Aid/support is allowed at the start/finish line only.
