How long can you maintain a 15:00min./mile?
NCTRaces: 15x takes place at Palmer's Landing. It is run on the North Country Trail (the Portage Trail section). Simply put, it is a one mile repeat every 15 minutes, until one person is left.
Technically it is a last runner standing format, but any and all runners (whether running 1 mile or 126 miles) will receive a finisher (or more accurately, a Did Not Finish award). Awards will have a space to fill in the distance you made that year. There are no age or gender categories, last runner standing means last runner standing. The last runner standing will receive a First Place Finisher award.
​
There will be milestone awards available for runners completing 50k, 50 mile, and 100 mile milestones.
Palmer's Landing will be the Start/Finish, Aid Station, Crew Spot that runners return to every mile. NCTRaces will have a basic Aid Station set up with some food/drinks/aid, but runners are encouraged to set up their own Aid Station area, whether a tent or a car.
