Trail Jamboree -- Last Person Standing
This last person standing pop-up event will take place on a two mile looped course and will follow the traditional format of a last person standing race. All participants will start a lap at the same time and must be back to the corral before the next lap starts or they are eliminated. But here is the twist.....the further you go the faster you have to run to beat the clock. You will have 30 minutes to complete the first lap. We will then decrease the time limit by 1 minute every lap until only 1 person successfully completes all laps under the time limit.
