Original listingFull description from sourceExpand the official listing text (unchanged)▾
This is a backyard-style ultramarathon.
At the top of every hour, participants will complete a 4.2-mile loop. When the hour is up, runners line up and do it again. The loop continues hour after hour—not until a set distance is reached, but until only one runner remains.
The final runner standing must then complete one last solo 4.2-mile loop. If they don’t, the result is a DNF. Only one finisher. One winner.
