Organiser's Description

This unique challenge is for those dedicated runners that like to push themselves a bit more than others. As a Countdown to ONE participant you will run as many single miles as you can based on the time requirements for each.

The first mile must be completed in 15 minutes or under, the second mile must be completed in 13 minutes or less, 3rd mile in 11 minutes or less, 4th mile in 10 minutes or less. These 4 miles make up the Bronze category.

The next wave would be the Silver category, 9 1/2, 9, 8 1/2 and 8 minute miles. If you're still standing it's onto the Gold category, 7 1/2, 7, 6 1/2 and 6 minute miles. If we have to go beyond this to get to our last person standing we will continue to drop each mile time requirement by 30 seconds.

If you finish any of the miles in under the required time to finish you are welcome to stretch, refuel and rest. There will be a one minute separation between each leg of this ultimate challenge. There will be a one minute separation between each leg of this ultimate Countdown to ONE! challenge.
