12 Hour Course Record Challenge
If someone sets a new course record they will receive a $150 cash prize plus have an additional $150 donated to the current service project on their behalf. If both a male and female break the course record, both will receive the prize.
Anyone that breaks the previous record but does not set the new record (meaning someone else in the same year beats it by more) will receive a one time free entry into the race the next year. We are grateful to one of our multi year participants for funding this incentive! All other details below still apply.
In addition, if anyone is able to set a new course record in the 12 hour race we will award them and a guest of their choosing free entries into the Elevate Race each year for as long as we hold this race! Currently the female course record is 70 miles and the male record is 74 miles.
Details:
- Only one male and one female can set a new course record each year. As an example, if one female runs 71 miles and another runs 72 miles, only the winning runner with 72 miles sets a new course record even though the runner with 71 miles also ran more than the previous record of 70.
- The two free entries are for the runner that broke the record and a guest of their choosing.
- Their guest can change each year, but the winning runner cannot give away the one intended for them.
- The winner and their guest do not need to run the same distances (12 hour / 5k).
- If any new distances are added in the future they can choose from those as well.
- If their record is broken in a future year they will not lose their free entries. They will still receive free entries each year for as long as we hold the race.
