THE CHALLENGE Krewe de Loops 36 is a 36-hour, backyard-style endurance challenge where the goal is simple: 3.2 miles. Every hour. On the hour. Keep answering the horn. When the horn sounds, the Krewe takes off together for a 3.2-mile loop. Finish the loop, recover, refuel, change shoes, grab some food, question your life choices winking face with tongue - whatever you need to do. But when that next horn sounds You better be back in the starting corral. Then you do it all over again. And again. And again. For up to 36 HOURS. fleur-de-lis HOW IT WORKS To stay in the challenge, runners must: Complete the 3.2-mile loop before the next hour begins Be inside the starting corral when the next horn sounds Begin each loop with the remaining Krewe Check out with race officials when you decide your journey is complete Miss the cutoff or fail to answer the next horn, and your race is officially over. But every single loop you complete counts. There is no minimum distance you have to reach to make this race a success. Run it. Walk it. Run/walk it. At 3.2 miles per hour, you only need to average approximately an 18:45-per-mile pace to complete each loop within the hour. chequered flag HOW FAR WILL YOUR KREWE TAKE YOU? 1 loop 3.2 miles Your 5 2 loops 6.4 miles Your 10K 6 loops 19.2 miles 9 loops 28.8 miles Marathon conquered + some 12 loops 38.4 miles 18 loops 57.6 miles 24 loops 76.8 miles 30 loops 96 miles 36 loops 115.2 MILES Maybe youre coming to complete your first 5K.
