🔥 NEW FORMAT<\/p>\n

THE SPEEDYARD<\/h2>\n

Seven Rounds to Earn the Final Loop<\/p>\n

10:30 AM start \u2022 A shrinking clock on the certified 1.64 mile paved loop<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Every round is two loops of the Pace Bend course (3.28 miles), and every round starts on the horn. Finish inside the window and you are in the next round. Miss it by a second and your day is done. Whatever time you have left over is the only rest you get, so speed buys recovery and going out hard buys nothing.<\/p>\n

Then the clock starts shrinking. Round 1 asks for 12:12 per mile. Round 7 asks for 7:37. Clear all seven and you have earned a spot on the line at 2:30 PM for one final loop, flat out, fastest time takes the title.<\/p>\n

Fifteen loops. 24.6 miles. Nobody is expected to get there, and most of the field will not.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\u23f1<\/div>\n

Starts Wide Open<\/h4>\n

Round 1 asks for 12:12 per mile. If you can run a 10K, you can start this race.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
🧠<\/div>\n

Speed Buys Rest<\/h4>\n

Run the round in 30 minutes on a 40 minute clock and you bank 10. Run it in 39 and you get one.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
🏁<\/div>\n

Stop When You Choose<\/h4>\n

Every round you complete is scored and recorded. Step off after Round 4 and you still ran 13.1 miles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
🏆<\/div>\n

Settled on the Line<\/h4>\n

Survive Round 7 and you start the final loop even with everyone else. One loop decides it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

HOW IT ACTUALLY WORKS<\/h3>\n

Corral start.<\/strong> Every round begins from the start corral on the horn. You must be in the corral when it sounds, whether you finished the last round with ten minutes to spare or ten seconds.<\/p>\n

Two loops per round.<\/strong> Chip timing records every loop. Cross the line after the window closes and your race is over. No appeals, no partial credit.<\/p>\n

Milestone recognition.<\/strong> Finishers are recognized at Round 2 (6.56 mi), Round 4 (13.1 mi), and Round 7 (22.96 mi). Pick your target and race to it.<\/p>\n

The final loop.<\/strong> Everyone who completes Round 7 lines up at 2:30 PM for one loop, scratch start, fastest time wins. Whether you cleared Round 7 with six minutes to spare or six seconds, you start even. Margin banked in the earlier rounds buys you recovery, not a head start.<\/p>\n

Title and Assist.<\/strong> The fastest final loop is the Speedyard Champion. Second across the line takes the Assist, the runner who made the champion earn it.<\/p>\n

If nobody clears Round 7.<\/strong> Round 7 is a hard ask by design, and there may be no final loop at all. In that case the Speedyard Champion is the runner who posted the fastest Round 6, counted among everyone who started Round 7. The Assist goes to the second fastest. No further running is required and the result stands on the timing already recorded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The same course advantage applies.<\/strong> You will know every climb and descent by Round 2, and your personal aid station sits at the start corral, so you pass your own nutrition twice per round.<\/p>\n

Counts toward the Rio Colorado 250.<\/strong> A full Speedyard is 39.6 km toward your 250 km buckle. Every round you complete counts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Speedyard is a timed elimination format and is not a Boston qualifier. Runners chasing a BQ should enter the certified marathon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

For Boston Qualifier hopefuls, rest assured that our pacer policy complies with BAA requirements.

Round 1 asks for 12:12 per mile, wide open to almost any runner. Round 7 asks for 7:37. Whatever time you save is the only rest you get, so speed buys recovery and going out hard buys nothing. Clear all seven rounds and you have earned a spot on the line at 2:30 PM for one final loop, flat out, fastest time takes the title. Fifteen loops, 24.6 miles, and a field capped at 75.","start_time":"12\/13\/2026 10:30","end_time":"12\/13\/2026 18:30","age_calc_base_date":null,"registration_opens":"8\/17\/2026
