Organiser's Description
Some races are about running fast.
This one is about not getting caught.
Back in 2020, when races disappeared and runners were looking for something fun, a little crazy, and socially distant, the Corona Classic was born. What started as a one-time event quickly became one of the most memorable races we've ever hosted.
For years we've heard the same question:
"When are you bringing back the Corona Classic?"
Well...it's back.
What Makes It Different?
The slowest runners start first.
The fastest runners start last.
When you register, you'll submit your predicted finish time. We'll use those predictions to create staggered start times so that, in theory, everyone reaches the finish line at the same time.
Of course, theory and reality are rarely the same thing.
The early starters spend 10 miles trying to hold everyone off.
The fast runners spend 10 miles chasing everyone down.
And nobody really knows who's winning until the final stretch.
The Goal: Be the first person back.
Not necessarily the fastest.
Just the first one across the finish line.
