Rules
- Each runner must be within the designed corral before the start of each yard.
- Each runner must complete the designed yard in the direction so decided upon by the Unicorn/Race Director within one hour (that is 60 minutes).
- Each runner must cross the start/finish line at the start and finish of each yard, thus ensuring that exactly 6,7km has been completed….more or less.
- Each yard starts precisely sixty minutes after the last (that is one hour).
- Warning will be given, by the blow of a whistle, or Koedoe horn, three, two and one minute prior to the start of the next yard.
- A sacrificial lam will be slaughtered thirty seconds befo….ok not really!
- All competitors must start at the bell (or something similar making a hellofa noise) from within the designated corral – no late starts are allowed.
- Except for restrooms (read: veldties), competitors may not leave the course until each yard is complete.
- No personal aid during a yard (handing and receiving anything is considered “aiding”).
- No artificial aids on the course (including trekking poles, voodoo dolls, blankies and safe animals).
- Slower runners must allow passes (and drop kicks, scrums and dummies).
- Once a runner quits, s/he is requited, by law – traditional and Roman – to take up the Spanner of Shame and announce her/his failure to the world, by slamming the Dis of Disgrace!
- The winner is the last person to complete a yard.
- All other runners will receive a hearty DNF.
- Results of each runner in terms of distance covered are to be given (note, our timing system might be a wee bit different that your Strava, but we don’t care!)
- If no runner can complete one more yard than anyone else, then, well, there is no winner.
- The race is open ended (this means we do not determine the maximum amount of yards run).
