Each year the Boulder Trail Runners puts on a Group Training Event - not a race, as this is OSMP land and no organized activities are allowed on it - to see how many laps individual runners can do in 12 hours. The record is 15 for men and 13 for women, as of 2004.
Rules: The "rules" are established by tradition.
(1) Each lap begins and ends at the bridge by the picnic shelter at the bottom of the south ridge (by the parking area). You must touch the railing of the bridge after each lap.
(2) You may run either direction (CW or CCW). You may switch directions at the start of any lap (that is, you don't have to run all laps in the same direction).
(3) You MUST touch the metal pole at the summit on each lap.
(4) Do not tell anyone that you are involved in a race! This is not a race! It is a disorganized group training run.
Join up with the BTR group and see what other fun you can have like this!
I guess everyone who is going to has reported their results from the InSanitas 12 hour. I counted 21 people at the start, and I think 10-20 more showed up throughout the day. Great! We had some interesting new "records":
Galen Burrell ran a single lap in 30:56, then went on to finish 5 laps in 2:51. He probably gets the records for the fastest 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 laps.
Stephanie Ehret set a strong women's CR at 13 laps in 11:42:58.
The men's overall 12-hour record was not broken, and stands at 16 laps in 11:56:22.
OK, here's what I have:
