3 Chaparrals 3/6 Hour Endurance Trail Run
Event Description
Be a part of the inaugural 3 Chaparrals 3/6 Hour Endurance Trail Run! This is a fixed time event that will take place on a 4 mile loop course in Palo Duro Canyon State Park. Participants will record the greatest distance possible during their chosen duration. Only fully complete course loops will count towards your distance. In the case of a tie, the first person/relay to complete the distance is the winner. This is a trail run and portions of the course can be quite technical. If you leave the course at any time, (ie to go to the restroom, or get something from a drop bag), you must return to the course at the same spot you left. You are welcome to have crew support you at the start/finish area, but there are no pacers allowed. Start/finish is at Mack Dick pavilion.

Cutoffs
Only fully completed laps count toward your race distance and the final lap must be completed BEFORE the race finish at 1 pm. Therefore, it is at your discretion if you begin a 4 mile loop that you may not be able to complete before your race ends. There will be an absolute cutoff at 12:30 pm, after which no runner will be allowed to begin another loop.
Relay
For the 6 hour 3-person relay, no relay order is needed. Each member will wear a bib at all times. The chip will be attached to an ankle bracelet and will be handed off like a baton. Your team can change out runners in the start/finish area at any time. Runners can only be changed out in the start/finish area and nowhere else on the course.
NO RACE DAY CHANGES!!!
Please no strollers, bikes, or dogs on the trails or in the start/finish area.
