Run & Cube 5K

Event Overview

Why not combine 2 of my favorite activities into one! Introducing the Run & Cube 5K --- a quirky twist on the usual 5K for all running geeks or geeky runners. Here's how it works:

Registration and Cube Pickup

• Sign-In: When you sign in and pick up your bib number you will be given a 3x3x3 cube (similar to Rubik's Cube {tm}) that has been scrambled randomly.
• Solving the Cube: You can try and solve it before the race starts and/or during the race while you are running.
• Finish Line: Once you cross the finish line --- if you have solved at least one side of the cube --- you can present it to the timing crew and receive a bonus deduction from your race time.

Awards

Full size cubes with the race logo on them will be awarded to the fastest running cubers based on their final time after any deductions for solving one or more sides of the cube.

Race Rules

• Independent Solving: Runners should work independently to solve their own cube.
• Timing: Time Deduction will be calculated as follows: 1 side = 1 minute: 2 sides = 1.5 minutes: 3 sides = 2 minutes: 4 sides = 2.5 minutes: 5 sides = 3 minutes: ALL 6 sides = 5 minutes.

Charitable Cause

50% of the proceeds of this race will go towards the organization of the first ever speed cubing competition in Madeira (a semi-independent small group of islands 200 miles off the coast of Morocco) and the other 50% will go to local school's Math Teams.

Course and Refreshments

The race will be run on the usual Delta Dental 5K course in Concord NH. Refreshments will be available post race.
