A 6-hour timed race on June 15, 2019.
This is a virtual 6 hour race. You can begin any time on June 15th and run, walk, or hike for 6 continuous hours. If you use a wheelchair, it's great to count that distance, too! Otherwise, you can't count any assisted distances that you cover (biking, skateboarding, rollerblading, driving, etc - those don't count!) It's fine to take breaks any time and for as long as you want during the 6 hours. You can run the whole time. You could run one mile every hour. You could run for 1 hour at the beginning and call that enough!
Track your distance during those 6 continuous hours and submit your total mileage covered when you're finished. Everyone registered will receive a link to a form to submit your distance at the end of the day. You will have 12 hours to submit your time, meaning all times must be received by noon on June 16th.
This is a great way to inch toward ultras or just to challenge yourself to spend a day outside moving.
This is primarily a virtual race that can be completed from anywhere. Just track your mileage over the 6 hour period you choose on June 15 and submit it through the form we send you.
Runners in the Washington, DC area may want to meet up on the C&O canal to run together for part of the time. This is a fat-ass event. There's no on-course support and you can run in your own 6 hour slot starting any time during the day. If you're looking for running companions, we recommend starting at Fletcher's Cove at 8am and heading north on the towpath. You can make loops back to the start or run for 3 hours and turn around. Carderock Recreation Area makes for a good turnaround because there are restrooms and water.
If you are not near DC, you can run this on your own course. Mileage submissions are on the honor system, and you won't win anything anyway, so why cheat?
REGISTER HERE! This race is free and self-supported. Register by midnight, June 14, 2019 at https://forms.gle/FDzNw7iUEkH8YZibA
