The Fort is getting a reputation for mastering the art of the CSAUP.

The Hog and Coyote

The Yeti

And…The Fast 5!

Because of the sheer awesomeness of bacon (and the fact that Zima needed another F3 shirt). The Fort presents – The Fast 5: Spring Installment! Our semi-annual 5K. “Fast 5, The World’s Fastest 5K” is a far cry from your standard 5K. That’s Right, 5 Men (or Women, that’s right FiA is getting in on the action) run a break-neck pace for 1 Kilometer each. Why you ask a 5K relay? Because it’s CSAUP…mostly S but definitely P as well. Think of this as a mini-P200, but instead of hauling butt to Charleston, we’re just running circles around Fort Mill High School’s track. Like last time, it’ll be over before it gets started. Will the Sons of Ballantyne come and defend their title? Will CSPAN run a lap short again? Will there be more bacon? Yes, there will be much much more!

When, Who, Why, How? Some of these questions are answered below:

Here are some particulars about the event. This is a loose/non-regulated relay race.  Here are the semantics:

• Each Team will be provided with a baton or bacon
• Each Team Member will run 2.5 laps around the track (slightly longer than 1K each)
• Exchange Zones will be marked on opposite sides of the track where batons are to be exchanged
• Exchange Zones are 1st Come 1st Serve as it pertains to lanes (1st to Exchange Zone may exchange in lane 1, 2nd in lane 2, etc.). Will explain on race day!
• We will be self regulating and timing.  I will communicate to the Team Captains the process.

Winners may or may not win a pound of Bacon but have exclusive bragging rights until next installment!

2.0 Race following the Fast 5. One Lap with all they got!

You are encouraged to invite your family and friends!  The more people who partake in this nonsense the better. The tailgate afterwards will be a great time of fellowship and regaling of the event that took only a few minutes to complete.

Update 04/14/16

This just In! Since this is an “endurance” race, we thought we should open up a 2-Man Ultra Team option (no requirements). So if you think you’re good enough, put your team together and show us what you got! Use the link above.

Aye!
