6. What are the rules?

• You set a target distance that your team will cover in 100 minutes.
• Two runners in the team run for 100 minutes in a relay format one after the other.
• You run in a loop of 1.6 kms.
• Runner A in the team starts the run, completes the loop, hands over the baton to Runner B.
• Runner B now runs the same loop and comes back to hand over the baton to Runner A again.
• This continues for 100 minutes.
• Once 100 minutes are over, the runner on the track stops at or between the check points on the track. The track will have check points every 100 mtrs.
• The team covering the maximum distance and meeting the target, wins!

7. Any bonuses, penalties?

       Yes, of course!

1. No bonus if you meet your set target.
2. If you run less than your target, then half of the difference will be deducted from your actual distance covered. For example, if your target was 20 kms and you ran 19 kms, then the difference between the target and the actual distance covered would be 1 kms. Thus, 500 mtrs would be deducted from the actual distance covered and you will get 18.5 kms.
3. The above rule applies also in case you cover more than the target. For example, if your target was 20 kms, and you ran 21 kms, then you get 20.5 kms.
