DC MULTISPORT EVENTS
Parklands 6-Hour Endurance Relay
Date: May 13, 2023 Location: Jasper Parklands Register Online Information The event will be run on paved trails within the beautiful setting of Jasper's newly developed Parklands. Running teams can set up their base camp within the northwest parking area of Klubhaus 61. The course is a hilly loop just slightly under 2 miles, and teams are challenged with completing as many loops as possible within the 6-hour time frame. Each runner can run as many loops at a time based upon that team's strategy. Once the 6-hour limit is reached, no runners may enter the course, and any runner still on the course will be counted. Only 1 runner per team can run at once. We will only have the one transition area where we keep track of the teams and their exchanges. So, the runners can switch each lap, or they can run multiple laps and then switch. Come out and enjoy the challenge, and team camaraderie!
