The Final Countdown - Tribute

🏁 The Final Countdown - Tribute

A huge shoutout to Jeff and Jeremy from The Ultra Running Guys. They organized 'The Final Countdown' in NC for 4 years. I reached out to them and they have allowed us to "steal" their idea! Bringing this fun and challenging race to WV!!!!

🌟 Unique Race Experience

• Open to All: You are invited to this unique race experience that has something for everyone.
• Challenging Format: From new runners to experienced ultra runners, the start will be a cinch.
• Self-Competition: All we ask is that you demand the most of yourself, holding off your own "Final Countdown" as long as possible.

🏞️ Course Details

• Loop Description: The course is a 1.33 mile loop located on the property of Amani Brewery.
• Well-Maintained: Their grass path is taken care of and mowed all year round.
• Smooth Trail: It is a smooth, fast trail, with a small hill or two.
• Time Management: Every lap, all runners leave together and must complete the loop in the allotted time.

⏳ Countdown Challenge

• Increasing Speed: Each lap will get slightly faster than the last, starting with the first lap at 20 minutes (15:02/mile pace).
• Countdown Reduction: For each successive lap, the countdown will be 20 seconds shorter, forcing you to go a little bit faster each lap.
• Adventure Ends: If you don't make it back before the Countdown reaches "0", your adventure is over.
• Audience Support: But we would love for you to hang out and root on the remaining competitors.

🔥 Prepare for Your Countdown

• Conservative Strategy: To get the most out of yourself, you will need to plan to be conservative enough.
• Fuel Management: Have fuel in the tank to turn the jets on in the end.
