🚀 The Final Countdown - Tribute
A huge shoutout to Jeff and Jeremy from The Ultra Running Guys. They have put on 'The Final Countdown' in NC for the past 3 years. I reached out to them and they have allowed us to "steal" their idea! Bringing this fun and challenging race to WV!!!!
🎉 Unique Race Experience
You are invited to this unique race experience that has something for everyone. From new runners to experienced ultra runners, the start will be a cinch. But the longer you last, the more the Countdown will demand from you. And all we ask is that you demand the most of yourself, holding off your own "Final Countdown" as long as possible.
🏞️ Course Details
- Distance: The course is a 1.33 mile loop located on the property of Amani Brewery.
- Trail Conditions: Their grass path is taken care of and mowed all year round.
- Terrain: It is a smooth, fast trail, with a small hill or two.
- Timing: Every lap, all runners leave together and must complete the loop in the allotted time.
⏱️ Countdown Mechanics
One thing though. Each lap will get slightly faster than the last. We will start with the first lap at 20 minutes (15:02/mile pace), and for each successive lap the countdown will be 20 seconds shorter, forcing you to go a little bit faster each lap. If you don't make it back before the Countdown reaches "0", your adventure is over. But we would love for you to hang out and root on the remaining competitors. The race ends when only one runner returns before the completion of "The Final Countdown."
🔥 Strategic Planning
To get the most out of yourself, you will need to plan to be conservative enough so that you can have fuel in the tank to turn the jets on in the end.
