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!!!!

🏃‍♂️ Race Experience

• Unique Challenge: 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.
• Commitment: But the longer you last, the more the Countdown will demand from you.
• Personal Best: All we ask is that you demand the most of yourself, holding off your own "Final Countdown" as long as possible.

🏞️ Course Details

• Location: The course is a 1.33 mile loop located on the property of Amani Brewery.
• Trail Quality: Their grass path is taken care of and mowed all year round. It is a smooth, fast trail, with a small hill or two.
• Loop Rules: Every lap, all runners leave together and must complete the loop in the allotted time.
• Break Time: If you finish the loop before the Countdown completes, you can take a break, grab a drink, check your social media, or whatever it is you want to do.

⏳ Countdown Challenge

• Speed Requirement: Each lap will get slightly faster than the last. We will start with the first lap at 20 minutes (15:02/mile pace).
• Decreasing Time: For each successive lap the countdown will be 20 seconds shorter, forcing you to go a little bit faster each lap.
• End of Adventure: If you don't make it back before the Countdown reaches "0", your adventure is over.
• Camaraderie: We would love for you to hang out and root on the remaining competitors.

📝 Preparation Tips

• Strategic Running: To get the most out of yourself, you will need to plan to be conservative enough to have fuel in the tank to turn the jets on in the end.
• Registration Call: If you are ready for your Countdown to begin, register today.
