Last Person Standing​
How many laps to win the championship belt for the last person standing? Who knows?!
​
Runners must complete two laps in 10 minutes, which is a pace of 11 minutes 20 seconds per mile. It sounds easy... at first.
​
If a runner finishes the two laps faster than 10 minutes, they can rest & recharge until the next round starts. If they don't complete the two laps in 10 minutes, they're out. The last person who completes laps is the winner.
