Slow and Tired's Bad Idea

This isn’t your typical race. This is a full day of dirt, decisions, and just enough bad judgment to keep you coming back.

It starts at 8:00 AM. A simple 5K trail loop.

Then… every 50 minutes… it starts again.
And again.
And again.
Ten chances total.

Run one lap and call it a day. Run five and feel strong. Run all ten and question everything.
Miss a lap? No problem. Catch your breath. Regroup. Step back to the line when you’re ready.

What makes it different?

No eliminations. No pressure. No ego.

Just you… deciding .every 50 minutes.. “Do I go again?”

The Real Challenge

It’s not about being the fastest. It’s not even about finishing all ten.

It’s about:
Showing up when your legs are heavy..
Going again when it would be easier not to..
Pushing your limits…
One decision at a time

Why you’ll love it

Because it’s fun. Because it’s social. Because it’s just hard enough to matter.

You’ll laugh.
You’ll hurt.
You’ll say “just one more lap” more times than you should.

And here’s the truth:

There’s no podium that matters. No one to beat.
The only winner is you.
Every lap you choose to run…
Every time you come back to the line…
Every moment you decide not to quit...
That’s the win.

Heading Label...

This might be a bad idea.
But it’s the kind you’ll be glad you said yes to.
So show up.
Every 50 minutes.
And see what you’re capable of.
