DEATH LOOP RULES: (This is only for the DEATH-LOOP and applies to no other race category)
This is an extreme race category and requires much racing experience coupled with focused training. We would love to see you attain excellence in running and this category is one such effort to push limits within the boundaries of safety rules and monitored performance.
The Home Loop starts on November 9, 2019 at 6am.
Each loop a 20Km distance needs to be completed within 2hours 20 minutes or 10kms in 1 hour 10 minutes.
There is an enforced timeout of 5 minutes between the first 3 loops.
No timeout after the from the 4th loop onwards and everyone starts on the clock.
Any runner who does not complete a single loop within loop's allowed time will not get to start the next loop
No exception for the timeout will be given. It is enforced to ensure a runner is sufficiently able to complete a loop that is demanding physically and mentally.
Partial loops before clock ends at 12pm on NOVEMBER 10, 2019 are not counted.
If a number of runners complete the same number of loops at the end of the race, cumulative time taken for all the loops that are counted will be used to rank the runners.
