An Experiment

Sat 27th June 2026

A dirt trail runs along a lake, bordered by trees with some sunlight streaming through the branches. The scene is bright and tranquil, with blue sky and scattered clouds. A woman in outdoor gear and gloves checks an orange and white orienteering control marker hanging from a tree branch in a forest. Another person stands nearby with their back to the camera. A white dog sits on a leafy forest floor near moss-covered rock cliffs. An orange and white orienteering control marker hangs from a tree branch in the foreground. Two people stand by a lakeshore, reaching up to a tree branch holding an orienteering control flag and checking a map. Pine trees and a calm lake are in the background. A man in athletic gear and a hydration vest runs on a wooded trail beside a lake, smiling at the camera. In the background, three people and a dog stand near the path, surrounded by lush green trees.

Organiser's Description

We wanted to see what would happen if a trail race asked runners to think as much as they move, and step outside the lines a bit. An Experiment uses a marked trail as the core, but optional off-trail attacks accumulate time bonuses to create a half-marathon experience that rewards curiosity, decision-making, and smart risk. Inspired by the idea of Barkley, designed for normal humans.
