Format and Rules
This event uses a unique format based on time predictions. Participants predict their finishing time before the race. Runners then start in a staggered order based on those predictions, with the goal of everyone finishing together. The first runner to cross the finish line wins the race and adds something to a 3-foot-tall traveling trophy, which they keep until the next year's event.
Registration and Fees
Registration is online only, and there is no race-day or on-site registration. Participants must register online via RunSignUp. The entry fee is $10. However, the event is free for members of the Columbia Track Club (CTC).
Important Information
Participants are asked to arrive before 7:00 AM on race day to make their time prediction. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
