Challenges

Are you all in for the Double Down?

7:15AM Start Time

The 4 mile and the Double Down Challenge start at 7:15am. If you are concerned about beating the clock, make your way to the front of the pack and run strong. You may not start the 4 mile run early in order to accomplish the challenge.

The Challenge!

Here’s the FUN part! YOU MUST complete the 4 mile run BEFORE the start line of the 10 miler closes PROMPTLY at 8:00 am.

We will have a crew member running as our Official Double Down Pacer wearing a DOUBLE DOWN PACER: STAY IN FRONT OF ME sign on the back of her shirt. In order to succeed you must stay in front of her. She will enter the Double Down Express Lane in time for you to start the 10 miler race before it closes PROMPTLY at 8:00 am.

Double Down Express Lane

After crossing the 4 mile finish line, move quickly through the left side of the chute through the Double Down Express Lane. The Express Lane will take you all the way to the middle of the pack for the 10 Mile run.

You will not pickup your medal, food, or drinks. There is an aid station at mile 1.5 of the 10 Mile course where you can get water or sports drink.

Upon reaching the end of the chute, join the rest of the 10 miler runners a the start line… if the race has already started – just keep running! You have until 8:00am to cross the start line.

350M From the Finish Line to the Start Line

The 4 mile finish line is exactly 350meters from the start line and there will be people around whom you must maneuver to get to the start line. You must cross the finish line in time to walk/jog the 350m to the start line before it closes at 8:00am.

7:45AM 10 Mile Start Time

The 10 mile run starts at 7:45am. If you make it back from the 4 mile run before the 10 mile starts, you have more time to rest and catch your breath. Make your way into the start line crowd and hang out.

8:00am Start Line Closes

The start line closes at 8:00am SHARP and the timing mats will be removed. No exceptions will be made to this cut-off time. This is part of the challenge… some will make it and some will not. We are proud of everyone who attempts this challenge!

10 Miler Minimum 15 min/mile Pace

Once you get on the 10 mile course you must maintain a 15-minute/mile pace to remain an active runner. If you start going slower than that pace you will be asked to move to the sidewalk so that the roads can begin opening.

Double Down Medal & Shirt Pickup

Cross the finish line for the second time and celebrate! YOU DID IT! Grab some food, grab a water bottle and head over to our Double Down Awards Tent to pickup your Double Down medal and shirt!

**the 4 miler starts at 7:15 and the 10 miler start line closes at 8:00. You MUST factor in WHERE you start for the 4 miler and the approximately 1/4 mile from the 4 Mile Finish to the 10 Miler Start Line**
