Trail Golf Endurance Challenge

Event Overview

Don’t let the name fool you, there’s no clubs or balls involved. This is a trail running endurance challenge like no other! The object of the game? Complete the routes with the lowest cumulative score and you win. Simple enough. But wait, “score”? Don’t you mean “time”? Not quite… Here’s how it works:

• At the top of each hour, everyone will start the same route, or “Hole”, of about 3-4 miles in length.
• Depending on the time window you finish in, you’ll receive a stroke score (“Birdie”, “Par”, “Bogey”, etc).
• 9 Holes in total for the 50k, 3 Holes for the 10-miler.
• Like in golf, the goal is to have the lowest score.

For scoring, “Eagle” is always 2 strokes, “Birdie” gets you 3, “Par” is 4, and so on.

Schedule:

50K and 10K start with Hole 1 at 9:00 AM.

Runners will be able to set up a small tent for themselves and their support crew.

Relay Information:

• Relay teams may be made of 2 or 3 runners.
