OVERVIEW FOR 12/24-HOUR RACES
* Run as many laps/miles as you can in 12/24 hours.
* One Lap is about 1 mile long.
* There is no minimum required amount of time to be on the course, nor will you DNF (did not finish) if you do not run the entire 12 hours. One complete Lap of the course qualifies you for an official finish. You can run as long or as short as you want, depending on your personal goals.
* Walking, stopping to rest, and even napping is allowed.
OVERVIEW FOR 12-HOUR OVERNIGHT RELAY
Not ready to go in circles for 12/24 hours yet? No problem! There is a 12-hour relay option available.
* Each relay team must have at least two but no more than four team members. Each relay team gets a BIB attached to the BIB belt before the start. The BIB belt serves as the relay baton.
* It's up to each team to decide the order, length of the distance, or time for each team member. There is no minimum distance or time requirement per team member, and there are no rules for the rotation within the relay team. The team can start with only two team members during the first 6 hours and let the other two members rotate during the last 6 hours of the race. If desired, teams are allowed to pass the BIB belt after every Lap or every hour or else.
