Countdown to One! (Syracuse)

This unique challenge is for those dedicated runners that like to push themselves a bit more than others. As a Countdown to ONE participant you will run as many single miles as you can based on the time requirements for each.

The course is a 1 mile loop with the start/finish location the same for each mile.

The first mile must be completed in 15 minutes or under, the second mile must be completed in 13 minutes or less, 3rd mile in 11 minutes or less, 4th mile in 10 minutes or less. These 4 miles make up the Bronze category.

The next wave would be the Silver category, 9 1/2, 9, 8 1/2 and 8 minute miles. If you're still standing it's onto the Gold category, 7 1/2, 7, 6 1/2 and 6 minute miles. If we have to go beyond this to get to our last person standing we will continue to drop each mile time requirement by 30 seconds.

If you finish any of the miles in under the required time to finish you are welcome to stretch, refuel and rest. There will be a one minute  separation before the start of the next timed leg of this ultimate challenge. There will be a one minute separation between each leg of this ultimate Countdown to ONE! challenge.

If you fail to complete any of the miles in the allotted time your out of the competition. As much as this is a competition to get to the last male and female standing, it's also a personal challenge for those not in the running to win it all. Set your goal, up your training and achieve your personal best!

All participants will receive a super cool and quite large finisher medal. Depending on the category you completed your last single mile successfully you will receive a pin to add to your finisher medal  (Bronze, Silver, Gold).  Cash prize of $125 for both the top Male and top Female finishers.

Post race celebration with food and drink for all.
