*The event is open-ended and will continue until one participant remains.

All participants registering over the phone will need to complete a waiver HERE.

Runners will run 4.1 miles every hour on the hour. If a runner is unable to complete a lap or returns after the hour is up they will
be given a DNF. The last person running who is able complete a full lap will be declared the winner. There are no runner categories, every runner starts at the same time.

• Before the start of each loop, we will go through the following protocol as such indicating time until the start.
  • 3 minutes before the start
  • 1 minute before the start
  • START (Bell or Horn)

• You have ONE HOUR to finish the loop once it has started. If you finish a loop within the hour, you have the opportu
  nity to start the next hour provided you are in the start corral when the next hour starts. If you do not finish within the
  hour, you are OUT of the race and considered a DNF.
  • Once you are on the course, you are not allowed any aid from your crew. You are not allowed to return to
    camp once the loop has started unless you are unable to finish the loop. You must be ON and STAY on the
    course; unless you need to use the bathroom (please do so off the trail or road discreetly). Non-competitors
    are NOT allowed on the course for any reason.
  • Once you are back to the start and assuming you’ve finished within the hour, you may use the bathroom, eat,
    drink, sleep, ponder the next loop, etc., but you MUST be back in the start corral or you will be considered a
    DNF (NO EXCEPTIONS). This means you MAY NOT start late (even if you are in bathroom). You may also choose
    not to continue though you will be considered a DNF.
• To be considered the winner you must have one other racer start the lap with you. You must also finish your lap in the
  allotted hour. If you do not finish the lap within the hour you will be a DNF.
• When ending your race you will get your race mug off of the runner board, turn in your timing chip and pick up your
  milestone patch
