Get Outside 8 Hour
Get Outside 8 Hour is a multi-format endurance event at Windsor Castle Park in Smithfield, VA, organized by Lion's Pride Racing. The event uses a 5 km loop course with varied terrain, including forested rolling dirt paths, wooden bridges, and exposed paved sections. The course is run clockwise and features approximately 138 feet of elevation gain per loop. The park course is open to the public, so other park users may be encountered on the route.
Event options include:
- 10K
- 8 hour timed event
- Ruck 8 hour
- Half GO 4 hour
- Ruck 4 hour
Lap counting is manual. Volunteers stationed near the start/finish will record laps; participants must complete full loops for them to count. A full aid station is located at the start/finish area and an additional water stop is available at Mile 1. The event is cup less; participants are required to carry personal hydration and bring their own cup or pack. The aid station offers a range of food options and nonalcoholic drinks.
All finishers receive a homemade finisher medal and an additional finisher item. Awards are given to the top three men and top three women by distance in each event, with ties broken by faster time. Ruckers must carry a minimum of 10 pounds in their pack. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
