    Brought to you by the Spindale Burrito League!

    How many times can you run a 0.34 mile segment? How about if the time to complete gets shorter and shorter by the hour?

    This race will be a modified version of a last man standing style race.

    For the first hour, you will run the segment every 6 minutes. That time will reduce by 1 minute each hour. After the 4th hour the segment time will cap at 3:00 minutes. The race will end when there is only 1 person left.

    Every two hours we will pause for 10 minutes for a bathroom break.
