Can you survive the Death by 5K Challenge? Ten 5Ks in 24 hours.
The first 5K starts at 8 am and subsequent 5ks start every 2.5 hours. (5k start times are as follows: 8 am, 10:30 am, 1 pm, 3:30 pm, 6 pm, 8:30 pm, 11 pm, 1:30 am, 4 am, 6:30 am. The final 5K must be completed by 8 am.
The event will take place at the RunStrong Training Center and the 5K course will be the same for each leg, starting and ending at the Training Center. Runners are welcome to stay inside the training center in between 5Ks, although space will be limited and will be first come, first served. Runners may rest or sleep inside their vehicles in between 5Ks, or can go home if they live close enough to the event location.
There will be plenty of snack food, and even some hot food served around lunch and dinner times.
Registrants will receive a race t-shirt and finishers will receive a custom finisher’s award.

This event was put on by al local training center. Every 2.5 hours, a new 5K began. No timing, just a marker board that you were responsible for checking off after completion of each race. Started at 8am on Saturday, and the last 5K began at 6:30am Sunday. We camped in the parking lot of the center and enjoyed several meals, laughs and lots of aches and pains!
This event is limited to around 50 people due to space and the small number of organizers. I will definitely be doing this one again!
