Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to some questions that have come up about this year's event.

Q. Is there a team time limit? What about a team membership limit?
A. Yes, all teams must be off the course within 3 hours and 30 minutes. Your team must have 6 people on race day in order to be able to race. 

Q. Is there an after-party? Can we stick around and picnic at the Woodlands afterwards?
A. The 26x1 is one big party so we are not planning an official after-party for the event. We encourage you to bring some food and drinks (no open flames please!) to partake during the race.

Q. Is the Woodlands pet friendly?
A. Yes it absolutely is! Dogs must be leashed at all times, but they are very welcome!

Q. Does everyone run this 1 mile at a time? Is it OK for someone to run more than 1 leg?
A. The race rules are pretty simple. You will create a team roster of up to 13 people (but no fewer than 6). Runners will then run their one mile loops one at a time. Runners will hand off the team's baton from one runner to the next. After your full roster of runners has completed their first loop, you will start from the top and repeat. If you have fewer than 13 runners on your team, some of your runners will need to run more than two loops, so you should order your team appropriately so that the first runners are the ones that run the extra loop.
