PHASE ONE TRAINING GROUNDS
Phase One trains out of a few areas in Spokane to include the Reardan Cross Country track, Riverside State Park, and Mt Spokane State Park, all providing beautiful and challenging opportunities to forge holistic strength.
SPONSOR
We are happy to announce Tailwind Nutrition as the official liquid nutrition sponsor of this years L.O.S! Tailwind provides hydration, fuel, and recovery products to keep you going and feeling great throughout your races and adventures. We will have Tailwind Endurance Fuel on course at the main Aid Station.
Using Endurance Fuel satisfies your caloric, electrolyte, and hydration needs. It is designed to be incredibly easy on the digestive system. The primary energy sources are dextrose (glucose) and sucrose, with a full complement of electrolytes. This approach to fueling has been the solution for many athletes, allowing them to avoid the dreaded gut bomb, bonking, and nausea that can come with more extended endurance events. Tailwind Endurance Fuel is vegan, gluten-free, and non-gmo.
INSPIRATION
L.O.S is more than a race. It is a Phase One Mission - an invitation to train for adversity, define resilience, and find hope, leaving no one behind. L.O.S is an opportunity to maintain Line Of Sight and search for strength within. The beautiful part of this challenge is that everyone taps out, and invitation to humility.
RACE DESCRIPTION
Starting at 7 AM, you will run a 4 mile route every hour on the hour until there is a Last One Standing.
Your challenge ends when:
1) You do not make the 4 mile distance prior to the start of the hour.
