From the organizer
Naked-Snap Dragon style race. This is an 18 and up event. We will run .86 mile laps around Sunset Mountain on the Snap Dragon trail starting at 1pm and the last person to finish each lap will be out. We will run until there is only 1 person left or at 4pm if the race is still going we will have a race off to determine the top male and female finishers. Each lap will be limited to 12 minutes and this years race is 180 minutes long with an additional race-off lap. You may expect to run a half marathon if you are one of the top competitors! Not only the last person to complete each lap will be out but also anyone who can't make it back in 12 minutes. Every 12 minutes a new lap will start with the remaining contestants.
Just for reference this is an extremely aggressive running trail. I am an avid runner and I can only run this .86 miles in about 8 minutes. The terrain is a combination of forest trails with unforgiving loose gravel mixed with large rocks, massive downhills, cow pasture, approximately 215' in elevation gain from the starting gate and the race finishes off on a gravel driveway. Add in twists and turns to make this event challenging even for the elite athlete.
Each paid for entry is good for entrance to Sunset Mountain on race day for the race participant and one guest. We will recognize the top male and female finishers and give out embroidered robes for each. Awards presented immediately after race. This event will be limited to the first 25 entries. Free dinner provided race day at 6pm. Are you brave enough to enter the Dragon?!
