The Format

The Track

Duncan Mackinnon Reserve, Murrumbeena. 400m athletics track. 8 lanes. 450-seat grandstand. 15 minutes from the CBD.

No hills. No trails. No excuses. Just you, the track, and a cutoff that won't stop dropping.

🏃 Loop distance - 1 mile (4 laps)
⏱️ Starting cutoff - 15:00
📉 Drops - 10 seconds every round

The Rules Are Simple.

Run the mile. Beat the cutoff. Do it again.

Every round, the cutoff drops by 10 seconds. If you're not back across the line in time, you're out. No second chances. The clock decides.

❌ Miss the cutoff?

❌ Can't finish the mile?

❌ Pull the pin?

Frequently Asked

Do I need to be fast?

No. Round 1 starts at a 9:23/km pace. That's a brisk walk. If you can jog, you can compete. The format is designed so everyone starts comfortable and the cutoff finds your limit over time. You don't need to be fast. You need to not quit.

I'm not a runner. Can I still enter?

Yes. If you can keep moving for a mile, you'll survive the early rounds. How deep you go depends on how much you're willing to push. Plenty of people will have a great experience lasting 15-20 rounds and walking away proud.

How long will the event take?

The bulk of the field will be eliminated within the first 5-6 hours as the cutoff tightens from walking pace to running pace. The final athletes will battle it out over the last couple of hours. The full event is estimated to run 7-9 hours from first round to last elimination. You're welcome to leave whenever you want after you're eliminated, or stick around and watch the finish from the grandstand.

Can I bring my own gear?

Yes. You're welcome to bring a gazebo, chairs, an esky, whatever you need to set up a base. There's space in the middle of the athletics track near the start line for athletes to set up their gear. Make yourself comfortable between rounds.

What's the venue like?

Duncan Mackinnon Reserve in Murrumbeena. A proper 400m athletics track with an 8-lane surface, 450-seat grandstand, toilets, car park, and BBQ facilities. 15 minutes from the CBD. Easy to get to.

Is there parking?

Yes. Free parking at the venue.

What do I need to bring?

Running shoes. Water bottle. That's about it. We'll send you a full info pack closer to the event with everything you need to know.

How does timing work?

Manual timing. A siren or whistle sounds when the cutoff expires. If you haven't crossed the line, you're eliminated. No timing chips. No mats. You either beat the cutoff or you don't.

Will it be livestreamed?

Yes. Every round, live with commentary on YouTube. Your mates and family can watch from anywhere. You'll be on camera.

What happens when I get eliminated?

You stick around. Grab a feed. Watch the carnage from the grandstand. Cheer on the athletes still out there. The experience doesn't end when your race does.

Is there a minimum age?

Participants must be 18 years or older.

What if it rains?

We run. Rain, wind, whatever. The track is all-weather.

Can I get a refund?

All ticket sales are final. If you can't make it, you're welcome to on-sell your ticket to someone else. A transfer fee applies to process the name change. Get in touch and we'll sort it.

How do I get my results graphic and footage?

We'll email you a link to the shared Google Drive within 24 hours of the event. Your personalised results graphic will land in your inbox within 48 hours.

Every mile, the cutoff drops. Miss it, and you're done.
