The Circus @ McKinney Roughs is the wildest race of them all. Come experience a unique take on racing. Choose between running solo or joining a team of 2, 4, or 6 to see how many miles you can crank out in 12 hours. Rather just get in shorter, faster miles? Try the 30K and 10K. Either way, you’ll see why we call this race “The Circus”.
Either take on these 12 hours solo…or invite your friends to join you in a 12 hour race. You will have three different loops of varying distances (approx 7 miles, 5 miles, and 3 miles), which can be run in any order, except the first loop, which must be the 7 mile loop. At 6:00 AM sharp, all team and solo runners will head out on the 7 mile loop. After that, you’re on your own to organize your loop order. Each time you complete a loop, you must hand off your timing chip to a team mate. Each individual cannot run the same loop twice in a row. Your teammate can run the loop you just ran, but you, as an individual, can’t run back to back loops. Goal is to get in as many miles as possible in 12 hours. You earn a point for each mile (7 mile loop = 7 points). A loop must be completed by 6 pm to count towards your overall points. So, if you’re a 1/2 mile from the finish when 12 hours are up, no credit for that incomplete loop.
The 30k course is compiled of a combination of running the 7 mile loop, the 5 mile loop, and then the 7 mile loop again, for a total of 18.6 miles. For each of these three loops, you are responsible for running the quick out/back. Awards at 1 pm.
The 10k course will run one 7-mile loop (without the out/back). Total distance is just over 6 miles. Awards at 1 pm.
We will have plenty to do to keep you entertained at the start/finish while you wait. Bring a tent, chairs, coolers, etc.
