How it works: Starting at 9am, everyone has 1 hour to complete the 6.67k out-and-back course. If you finish before 10am, you get to sit, socialize, and rest until the next loop starts at 10am. This continues every hour until only one runner can complete the loop under 1 hour. If you are over 1 hour for a loop, your race is done. This format is a super fun way to log big mileage with great people on a beautiful and easy gravel trail.

Registration/Start/Finish location: Jim Charles Point parking lot.
