SCT Dawn to Dusk 12 Hour Team Challenge

The Seminole County Triathletes invites you to participate in the 3rd Annual Dawn to Dusk 12 Hour Team Run and Ultra Challenge.  This event takes place on Saturday, February 18th, from 6:30am until 6:30pm at Ft. Mellon Park in Sanford, FL. Participants can create teams of up to 6 members or participate as an individual runner for the entire duration.  The course will consist of a 1 mile loop around Ft. Mellon park on the sidewalks.  Each team member will be timed and the number of laps counted for the team, or the individual.  At the end of the event the total number of miles will be tallied for each team and awards will be given out based on the most miles completed.  There will be a variety of divisions and categories for awards, you can read more about it below.  There will be an aid station on the course with a wide variety of foods, snacks and drinks and teams are encouraged to come out and set up their own tent to cheer their runners on.  This will be an all day party in the park with your closest running friends and some good friendly competition between groups.

Teams must consist of between 2 and 6 members.  These members may be all of one gender or coed teams.  Coed teams must be at least 33% female (1 of 2, 1 of 3, 2 of 4, 2 of 5, or 2 of 6).  Teams will be broken down into 3 categories for scoring.  The categories are all male, all female, and coed.  Team members will run one at a time along the 1 mile loop course around Fort Mellon Park.  There will be no set distance or time each member has to run and runners may switch off as desired.  All team members must run at least one lap.  Runners must cross the timing mat when they begin their run, after each lap, and when they finish their run.  Runners may take multiple turns throughout the day.  At the end of the event the total mileage will be tallied up for each team and awards will be based on the team with the most mileage in each category for each division.
