One of our favourite events is back after being successfully trialed for the first time fifteen events ago at Koh Pich. We've got a new location and a slightly shorter course and after applying some minor tweaks to the rules we were all set for the second edition of the endurance elimination race.
The general idea is that everyone will run laps and at the end of each lap, the last people will be eliminated until a final lap showdown between the two remaining runners. The race is broken down into eight rounds of seven laps separated by a short rest and there are bonus points available for winning a lap and winning the round as well as for completing laps and not being eliminated. Everyone can participate with all runners expected to complete a minimum of 4km and up to 14.5km if winning every round. The more people that take part, the more fun it is - please contact us for more detailed information about the rules if you'd like to know more about this exciting race format!
Overall it was a great effort from all who joined in, in bright but humid conditions on our new course.
After eight rounds of racing the nine athletes averaged a total of 38 completed laps and 9.9 km of running, ranging from 5.5 to 14.3 km. After a strong opening lap from Hugo, Andarge took the initiative winning six of the remaining seven laps to take first place with 149 points. The top three all scored over 100 points (over 2 points per lap), and the top four all completed over 10km.
We had five different lap winners, Andarge crossing the line first in an incredible 29 laps, Nicolas scoring 15 and four more lap wins shared between Hugo, Leo and Matt.
Check out the results table to see how you did overall. We hope you all enjoyed the event and look forward to running more similar events soon!
