The Genesis
Location is still TBA!
The race is standard backyard, complete a 4.167 mile loop every hour, for as long as you can. The last runner standing wins.
Why 4.167 mile loops? Finishing 1 lap per hour for 24 hours gets you 100 miles.
Each loop must be started at the top of the hour and no aid or pacing can be provided to runners while on course. In between loops, runners are welcome to have a crew and get any support they need.
MORE details coming soon!
Rules
- Runners must be standing in the starting corral when the next loop starts or else they will not be able to continue.
- Runners will also not continue if they choose not to themselves.
- There will be no late starts once the bell is rung.
- Loops will continue until only one runner remains, and at that point, once that person completes a loop on their own, that runner is the winner.
- All other runners are officially a DNF. However, we will capture total distance covered for each participant as a part of the results.
It is important to note there MUST be one person to finish a loop in the hour given. For example: If two runners are left and they both finish a loop in the time given and then one runner drops, the other runner still must complete another loop in the time given. If that last runner does not finish the last loop in the hour given, he will have “DNF” and there will be no finishers.
- A bell is rung to signal the start of each loop, on the hour!
- Once the bell is rung, runners may not visit their crew, their tent, their vehicle or receive aid from anyone.
- Runners must stay on the course once the bell is rung.
- The only reason for leaving the course once the bell is rung is to use the porta-potty.
- Once you finish your loop you may choose to do what you want, but must be back in the starting corral before the bell rings.
- Runners will need to be prepared to provide their own aid on course or via their own crew when back at the start/finish area.
- Crews are permitted, but not required. Crews may leave and come back as needed.
- There will be a space next to the start and finish line to set up a chair, cooler, and other small personal items.
- Runners will also be allowed to set up a tent in the designated area adjacent to the start/finish area.
- Any runner that DNF’s must immediately vacate their spot close to the finish line to allow surviving runners to move closer. Tents can remain up for the duration of the event and DNF runners are welcome to continue hanging out, spectating, cheering, crewing, partying as we wait until one runner remains.
Aid Station & Food
We will be making some food and have some fluids during the race but the large amounts of food we prepare will be for after you finish! Once you are out of the race, let us know what you want from the food options and we will grill it or prepare it for you!
