14 UNIQUE ASPECTS OF DOUBLE RACING®

1. NEW SPORT: The Double Racing® is a new professional and an amateur sport combined. In our marquee event, participants run a 10k, rest and recover then run a 5k.  The times are combined for final time and scoring. In all Doubles, the longer distance leg is run before the shorter distance leg. Other distance Doubles include Double 21k (15k+6k), Double 12k (8k+4k), Double 8k (5k+3k) and Double 5k (3k+2k)

2. HALFTIME: Double Racing® is the only running event with a halftime.  For the Double 15k, the 5k leg of the race begins 105 minutes (1:45) after the 10k leg, which means runners may have up to 75 minutes to rest, recover and prepare to finish.

3. YELLOW JERSEY: The Male and Female winner of the first leg wins the Yellow Jersey that is given to them to wear during the second leg (for everyone to knows who is leading after the first leg).

4. 40% PRIZE MONEY FOR MASTERS:  We give the opportunity for everyone to win and be rewarded.  About 40% of the prize money will go to men and women runners over 40.

5. GRAND CHAMPION BEST AGE-GRADED:  Grand Champion trophy (Double Victory Cup) is awarded to the best age-graded performance (man or woman) for the Double 15k according to WMA standards.  Cash prize is equal to the same amount awarded to first male and female overall.
