Mind Games

The mind game is going around a .411 mile loop for fun on a Friday night. The goal is to push your limits in a fun and safe environment; however, this loop will play mind games with you and tell you that you can’t go on! Shut down the voices and do one more loop!
Run, walk, or crawl allowed.

The Course and Goal

It is a half-mile loop repeat over a 6, 12, or 24 hour period. It will take place at the Pinetum (the pine tree upper loop) at Lowell Park. Participants can choose to run solo or as part of a three-person relay team.
Whether you are doing 6, 12, or 24 hours they will start at 7 pm on Friday evening, and once you have completed your run time we encourage you to stay, have fun, and maybe throw in a couple of extra loops.
There will be fun competitions and raffles throughout the night which will be announced in greater detail later.

Aid Station

This is a SELF-SUPPORTED event; you will be responsible for tracking your loops. No, you can NOT use your GPS watch to track distances due to all the watch inconsistencies. The center of the loop will be open to set up tents and your own aid station for the duration of your time there. Organizers will have water available, but you are responsible for other liquids and food.
Are you ready to test your mental toughness?! Are you ready to see how far you can go in a certain time limit?! Are you ready to have fun?!

Rules
