Sundown Rundown - Fifth Street Cross Edition

Sundown Rundown isn’t just a race—it’s the ultimate test of pacing and persistence. Course Design: 1.6 miles or 2.8km lap distances. Each course varies, but the distance is intentional to make pacing more challenging. This is a short-course backyard-style race with an elimination built into the start times. Race Features Timed scoring Start/finish chute Grill food Covered area for athletes to set up their change pits Race Parking If you want to stay within the venue until 8pm, then you can park inside the compost center, close to the start area. However, if you need to leave prior to 8pm, you should park in the gravel lots outside the venue. Race Rules Each lap is run in the opposite direction of the previous lap. Runners must start each lap on time. Starting before the designated time will disqualify them from the event. Runners who do not complete a lap before the start of the next lap are eliminated and scored. Runners are permitted to use the restroom between laps, but the start time of a lap does not change for them. If you miss the start of a lap, you are chasing the pack. Starting a lap but not making the time cut scores you on the lap you start. For example, you start on lap 8 but do not complete Lap 8 on time, you are scored on Lap 8 relative to others who did not make the time cut. Runners self-score on the scoreboard. Draw one slash for starting a lap. A second slash to complete the lap. “Final Lap” refers to a lap that is completed within the time cut If someone does not finish the lap on the time cut, we take their relative place on the lap to score them. For example, if Runners A, B, C miss the time cut, but finish in B, C, A order, that is their finishing place. If they do not cross the finish line on a lap, we use the previous lap start as the tiebreaker. For example, Runner A starts lap 10 but turns around/drops out and does not complete the lap. Runner B does not make the time cut on lap 10, but does complete the lap, so they are placed ahead of Ru
