San Felipe Shootout

🏃‍♂️ Race Description

The San Felipe Shootout is an exciting race format with a very unique twist on racing. The event will consist of three separate races: the 5k, 10k, and Half Marathon. The SHOOTOUT (triple) combines all races back-to-back-to-back with the 5k, 10k, and Half Marathon for a cumulative time. The faster you run, the more break you have between events. Shootout runners must start each race at the gun.
