8 Hours of Christmas

Welcome to 8 Hours of Christmas Elimination Race! Every participant has 1 hour to complete a 4 mile loop (1000 feet of gain). If you don't complete the loop and back into the starting area within the 1 hour period you're eliminated from the race. This will go on for 8 hours and on the last 4 mile loop the fastest lap wins the race! BUT wait.. there's more! After each successful loop each runner will be awarded a prize. After the 1st loop completed everyone earns a Christmas ornament, after the 2nd loop everyone will earn a water bottle... etc until hour 8 and the awards for each loop will get better as you progress through the day.
