FANS Ultra Races are a little different from your ordinary race. The fast people and the slow people all start and finish at the same time at FANS. How can we do that? By offering a time-based race rather than a distance-based race. At FANS, you select from 6-hours, 12-hours, or 24-hours.
During the time you select you accumulate miles. You may run, or walk or mix it up however you want. You decide how fast you want to go. You can take a break when you want. You can take a nap if you want. You leave the course and go eat dinner if you want. You change clothes if you want. You stop if you want. All the while, the clock keeps ticking and at the end of the time you selected, your race is over, and so it is for everyone who selected the same amount of time that you did. Everyone deals with the same weather and the same course for the same amount of time. FANS provides real-time results so you always know how many miles you have accumulated.
