Somersault Formula Run

A new event for 2023! 

This event forces you to work smart and figure out the best running strategy (or formula) to get your team to complete the most laps possible in 90 minutes. 

Each team has one timing chip which can be passed between members like a relay baton to finish as many laps as possible. 

Teams can be groups of 2 3 or 4. Alternatively you can sign up solo and see how you fare on your own. 

Each lap is 363m long and is a smooth pentagon shape. It's well-paved closed to the public and has a hydration/aid station on every loop.

Grab your friends and start planning! Do you opt for shorter shifts with more transitions or longer runs with less time spent passing the baton around? The right formula can make all the difference!
