Originally, this idea comes from the Beyond Marathon group over in the UK who have the Escape From Meriden 24 hour event. We kept the format similar, albeit shorter since Tennessee is significantly smaller than England and you are allowed to go solo along with being as a pair.

To be clear, your final distance is measured as a straight line from the monument to wherever it is you stop. The distance between two points in a straight line is colloquially called "as the crow flies." If you ran 60 miles but are actually only 40 miles away from the monument, then your final distance is 40 miles. Hence, a "Crow Race."

You and a friend can run together as a pair. You will share one tracking unit between the two of you and you must stay together for the entire race. You will receive individual results that will show on your US profile, but they will be the same distance.

Food/Water/Aid: You are free to use gas stations, restaurants, etc. for resupplies or to have a dedicated crew meeting you along your route. As of now, there are not two separate categories for runners. With more people, that may be changed in the future.

Tracking: There will be live tracking/mapping during the event.
