Running with the Law (Last Person Standing)

*Participants and attendees MUST have access to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base*

An event packet will be emailed to all registered participants.

Background:
Inspired by the Backyard Ultra and “Last Man Standing” format, this event fosters an atmosphere where all participants can relatively stay together throughout the event, while still offering a great level of competition.

Rules:
Runners must start together from the corral, run a 1.39-mile loop (marked course), and cross the finish line within 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, runners must start the loop again, completing the loop in under 20 minutes. The event will continue until there is only one person remaining who can complete the loop in under 20 minutes. Members who are unable to complete a loop in under 20 minutes or quit are credited as Did Not Finish (DNF). It is possible to not have a winner if the Last Person Standing fails to complete their final loop in under 20 minutes.
- Participants may utilize the remaining time after finishing a loop for selfcare, external aid will not be authorized between starting and finishing a loop. Participants must start when the siren sounds at every 20 minute mark unless they elect to quit, no early/late starts.
- Participants are required to provide their own source of hydration and nutrition.
- Participants may bring a tent and chair to guarantee shade/rest in-between loops and are authorized crew members in the tent area.
- Every loop a registered participant completes in under 20 minutes will be one entry into a raffle for miscellaneous items.
- Prizes will be given to top performers as well as those who "Outrun the Law" and outlast MSgt Zacharie Slaight.

Additional Information:
May 12th through May 18th 2024 is National Police Week, all Air Force Security Forces units (USAF Military Police equivalent) will be hosting events at their respective bases to honor fallen Security Forces members as well as providing an opportunity for our law enforcement professionals to foster relationships with the local population. The added benefit of the Running with the Law event is to encourage members to step outside of their comfort zone and reach new heights regarding personal bests for running distances, while still having an element of competition that is more based on internal grit, not speed. This event will be held in a controlled and safe environment (minus the weather), at no monetary cost to our participants who have access to the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base.
