BackRoads X HOKA 800m Night
BackRoads X HOKA 800m Night takes place at 1295 Riverbend Road in London, ON, and is the second event in the HOKA Hat Trick series. The main race distance is 800 m, which is two laps of the track, and athletes are grouped into four sections based on predicted times.
Activities include a gathering at Legacy Park across from BackRoads for an outdoor festival with a beer garden, food trucks, and music. HOKA demo shoes are available before the race for participants to try on.
The competition sections are defined by seed times: Section One for 3 minutes 45 seconds and over, Section Two for 3 minutes to 3 minutes 44 seconds, Section Three for under 3 minutes, and the Championship Section for under 2 minutes 20 seconds. Registration for each section is listed as free.
The program includes arrival and sign-in at BackRoads, welcome announcements, a warmup jog of 2.2 km to the STA track, the staged 800 m races by section, a cool-down jog back to BackRoads, and the festival at Legacy Park. Beer pricing for the evening is tied to the runner's time, with up to two beverages per participant, and HOKA provides event prizes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
