Event Format

The May we Challenge You Day 1 is an 8-hour timed running and walking event. Participants can begin their run at any time within a 7-hour window in the morning and early afternoon, but must complete their final lap by a set cutoff time in the afternoon. The event operates on a "Turn Up Get Going" (TUGG) system.

Course

The course consists of laps on a scenic, disused train line. Each lap is an accurately measured 5.3 km out-and-back route, run entirely on tarmac. An aid station at the end of each lap provides drinks and snacks.

Participation

There is no minimum distance requirement. Participants can complete as many laps as they wish within the time limit, from one lap upwards. Completing 8 laps equals a marathon distance. Everyone who completes at least one lap is considered a finisher and receives an event medal and a goody bag. Registration options are available with or without the medal and goodies.

Additional Information

The event has a maximum of 75 entrants. The minimum age for participants is 18 years. A race permit has been issued by the ARC. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
