Scoring: You receive points for your ranking on each challenge hill as well as the overall course (5, 4, 3, 2, 1). For instance, if you are taking part in the full challenge and have the fastest time on all 6 challenge hills, your scoring would be 35 points (5+5+5+5+5+5+5=35).
Navigation: There will be MINIMAL flagging.  We are not permitted to leave race-course style flagging for two weeks. And remember, both runs are available in RunGo, links are above. 

Frequently Asked Question's
Q: Can I compete in both categories, the full and the mini? 
A: Don't be greedy. Please pick one.

Q: What if I hit a segment but Strava doesn't record? Or records inaccurately? 
A: We've all been burned before. It's frustrating. By participating in this challenge, one must accept the inherent risk of a botched Garmin or Strava session. Please avoid whining. Run. It. Again. 

Q: Can kids compete? 
A: Nah. This Challenge is meant for adults.
 
Q: Can I run the course multiple times in one week?
A:  Sure.

Q: What if one or more of my hill segment timeframes fails to register when I running the full or mini courses?      
A: The posted segments will be ranked accordingly. The overall score, however, will be impacted due to the missing segments. 
                                                                 ​
Q: What happens if there is a tie?
A:  In the unlikely event that a tie occurs, we will accept bribes as a means to tip the scale.
