The Final Countdown - Tribute

🎉 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

• Inclusive: You are invited to this unique race experience that has something for everyone.
• Adaptable: From new runners to experienced ultra runners, the start will be a cinch.
• Challenge: But the longer you last, the more the Countdown will demand from you.
• Self-Demand: All we ask is that you demand the most of yourself, holding off your own "Final Countdown" as long as possible.

🏞️ Course Details

• Loop Length: The course is a 1.33 mile loop located on the property of Amani Brewery.
• Trail Condition: Their grass path is taken care of and mowed all year round.
• Trail Characteristics: 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 Challenge

• Increasing Pace: Each lap will get slightly faster than the last.
• Starting Pace: We will start with the first lap at 20 minutes (15:02/mile pace).
• Countdown Reduction: For each successive lap, the countdown will be 20 seconds shorter.
• Finish Requirement: If you don't make it back before the Countdown reaches "0", your adventure is over.

⚡ Strategy for Success

• Plan Wisely: To get the most out of yourself, you will need to plan to be conservative enough.
• Fuel up: Have fuel in the tank to turn the jets on in the end.
• Support Others: But we would love for you to hang out and root on the remaining competitors.
• Final Goal: The race ends when only one runner returns before the completion of "The Final Countdown."
