Unlimited Time Race Rules

Start:

• Each lap starts precisely on the hour, every hour from 20:00.

• Runners must be in the starting corral at the bell.

• Warnings are given at 3, 2, and 1 minute(s) before each start.

• All competitors must start at the bell (no late starts); missing the start means elimination.

During the Lap:

• Each lap must be completed within one hour, including the final lap.

• Runners may only leave the course to use the restroom.

• No non-competitors (including eliminated runners) are allowed on the course.

• No personal aid is allowed during a lap (common aid stations are permitted at the start/finish area only).

• No artificial aids (e.g., trekking poles) or pacers are allowed.

• Slower runners must allow faster runners to pass.

Between Laps:

• Any remaining time after finishing a lap can be used for rest, food, or preparation for the next lap.

• Runners will be allowed one crew member in the holding area at any one time.

• No runners are allowed to leave this area to receive aid.

Elimination:

• Failing to finish a lap within the hour, not starting at the bell, or voluntarily quitting results in elimination (marked as DNF—Did Not Finish).

Winner Determination:

• The winner is the last person to complete a lap on their own; all others receive a DNF.

• If no runner completes one more lap than the others, there is no winner.
