How long can you stay in the race?

Each level is one lap of the track, and the clock gives you 3 seconds less than the level before. Cross the line before it hits zero and you’re through to the next level. Your rest is whatever time is left on the clock, because the next level starts the moment it hits zero. Miss the cut-off and you’re out, and you join the cheer zone for the runners still going.

How it works 1 lap (400 m) per level, start and finish on the same line Every level, you get 3 seconds less time to finish the lap No set distance: the last runner standing in each group wins

Two groups, one clock There are two groups, so everyone starts at a pace that suits them. Both groups share the same clock and have to cross the line before the same zero.

Challenger: you start first, with 3:00 for your first lap (a pace of 7:30 min/km). Pro: you start 36 seconds later, with 2:24 for your first lap (a pace of 6:00 min/km).

Pick the group closest to your easy, conversational pace. We’ll help you choose on the spot. Not sure? Start in Challenger.

Timing We start at 10:00 with a briefing and warm-up. The race ends when the last runner misses the cut-off. Expect to be done by about 11:30.

What to bring Running shoes, water and a warm layer for the cheer zone.
