Just continuous running\, changing terrain and a course that rewards rhythm and focus. ​A finisher’s medal marks the first edition of this new event\, with light refreshments at the finish so you can refuel\, recover and head into the rest of your day. \n\n\nIMPORTANT:  While created by the team behind HELL & BACK\, this is not a typical HELL & BACK event! \n\n\n
