This race challenges participants to run further than anyone else, with all runners starting simultaneously to complete a distance of 6706 meters—known as a "yard"—within one hour. Completing the yard within the time allows runners to rest before the next attempt, while finishing late results in a DNF. The winner is the one who manages to finish more yards than anyone else. Hosted in the backyard of Rivers Edge Running Series' director, Bryan Wallace, this event embodies community spirit and charity, supporting Olive Tree Projects, founded by his daughter. With a mix of perseverance and fun, runners are invited to join in what promises to be a memorable experience.
