Comlara 12 Hour Sunrise-Sunset

Lake Run Club, established in 1982 is hosting a summer trail run competition consisting of the following events:

* This event is part of the Lake Run Club's Trail Run Series, which includes Run the Woods 5K/8K in October and Deer Run 8K in December.

• 12 Hour Sunrise to Sunset, which will be run as a last man/women standing competition. Will be 51 miles if you complete each of the loops.

The course consists of a 4.25 mile long looping course, which resembles a figure 8.  This event you have exactly one hour to run the 4.25 mile loop. If a runner completes the loop in less than an hour, they are free to relax, refuel, hydrate, and use the facilities. So, if a person does the lap in 45 minutes, they have 15 minutes to wait around. If a runner finishes the 4.25 mile loop in 58 minutes, they have 2 minutes to use at their own discretion. At the top of every hour, on the hour, any runner not making it back from the loop will end their day of running for this race.  Bib will be pulled. The following will be required to get to the finish line.

• Strategic running skills
• Tactical Positioning
• Mental Toughness

Simultaneously, at the top of the hour, for twelve hours, runners that made it back in time will all line back up at the starting line to run the course again. This continually timed method is carried on till 7:00 PM, or until there is only a single person left standing. If there are multiple people that complete the distance, the fastest man and fastest women crossing the finish line on this final lap will be the declared winners, but all that complete the final loop before 6:59:59 PM will receive an award for the 12 hours of running they completed for the event.
