4 x 1 mile x 2 hours Team Challenge - Columbus

We love virtual events. But, there's so much we miss about racing...

The course...

The timing...

The competition...

The team...

Here's our take on a race challenge that will allow you and your team to compete for Citywide bragging rights.

THE RACE

Race in person on a set course, get true timed results, all while meeting social distancing guidelines.

The race is $100.00 per team (4 runners @ $25/each). You must register all 4 people at the same time. Everyone must be in the same race (mens/women/coed), and you must put everyone on the same team.

When you register for the race you will select a time slot. During that time slot your team will be the only 4 people on race site. Your team will rotate through a 1 mile loop course, each person takes a turn, then another, then another, then another.  Completing as many laps as they can during the 2 hour window.  You will run with a track baton that contains an timing chip.  Your laps will be counted electronically, and results will be updated as each team finishes.  We will even capture finisher photos for each member of each team!! 

Race will be scored as men's teams, women's teams, and co-ed teams.  Let's have some fun with this and see who's the fastest in Columbus.

Only one team per time slot. We encourage spectators to stay home athletes only

We encourage our athletes to bring masks while waiting to run, and we will have ground markers to keep everyone 6' apart while at the start area

There will be restrooms, music, and water on location. But, bring water bottles (or cups, or whatever vessel of your choosing), and your own snacks.

Course will be on public sidewalk, open to walkers, dogs, other runners, whoever. This also means driveways and cars.  There are no traffic lights, or major intersections... But, a few small side streets where the car should stop, and you have the right of way on the sidewalk - but, be smart, and safe.
