Organiser's Description
This race is a beginner friendly twist on the traditional trail run. It will be held at 1North Adventure Trails in Blanchard. TTTTP is a different format than your traditional race. It's designed to make running fun by utilizing a game you've known since childhood....tic-tac-toe. You will be timed and your distance will be recorded but there will be no age groups and no overall winners. The goal is 3 X's in a row but there will be other ways to win as well.
The Rules:
Each runner will be given a race bib that has a tic-tac-toe board printed on it as well as their race number.
Runners will be directed to choose one of three out-and back or loop trails to run. The trails are of varying distance between .6 miles long and 1.5 miles in length. Players must run either A trail, B trail or C trail. Player must then return back to the start area and run a different trail. Players must run trails ABC in any order BEFORE repeating a trail. The minimum distance a runner is likely to run or walk is 5 miles, average will be about 7 miles. A player wanting to get a CAT (no 3 in a row of X's or O's) or a blackout (may have 3 in a row but the runner wants to fill every blank spot) will run a minimum of 12 miles and a maximum of 15.
At the turn around point of any trail; there will be a gaming tent. At the tent, the runner will roll a 6 sided die that has an equal # of X's and O's. IF THE PLAYER ROLLS AND X, then the player gets to decide where an X is placed on their tic-tac-toe bib. IF A PLAYER ROLLS AN O, the worker puts an O on the tic-tac-toe bib. _YES, THEY WILL BE INSTRUCTED TO BLOCK YOU AND NO AMOUNT OF BEGGING ON YOUR PART WILL DISSUADE THEM. _
