What Are Lapped Races?
Lapped races are designed for runners to complete as many laps under a predetermined set of time. There are two allocated times set for this event, the 2 hour run and the 6 hour run/relay.
Runners must complete as many laps in their allocated time but are not required to run the whole time. For example, if someone who signed up for the 6 hour run only runs for 4 hours, they will have to let the timer know and they can pick up their medal from the race volunteers and finish their race.
A lap is completed after runners have crossed the start line, run the course, and proceed to cross the finish line mats. Runners may walk, get a drink, refuel, or whatever they need to do before starting their next lap. Please note, even though a participant may stop after completing a lap, the race still continues. Please be aware of the actual time of day as when your allocated time is up, the race is over and you will no longer be able to complete any more laps. A "Last Call" will be issued roughly 20 mins before the end of the race. All runners who are waiting in the rest area will be notified and are allowed to try to complete their lap in said time.
How Do Lapped Races Work?
Runners will line up on the start line and be given instructions as to how the course/event will run. Right at the start time (6:00am) all runners will be allowed to start running their laps for the event. Once a runner crosses the start mats, their lap and lap time will start being recorded. Runners must then complete a lap and cross over the finish line mats in order for their lap to count. You CANNOT cross the start, turnaround and come back, then cross the start line again. The scoring software will take the first time you cross the start line for each loop (starting at 6:00am).
Please note, the race time does not stop as this event is to see how many laps can be completed in a 6 or 3 hour time window. Runners can then choose to rest or continue their race after each lap by crossing over the starting line to start their next lap. You can then walk into the rest area, stop at the aid station, etc. This time does not count against you.
