CERC Prediction Run
About this race
Join Columbus Eastside Running Club (CERC) as we get the summer training season started with a FREE prediction run at Nocterra Brewing Co.!
What is a prediction run?
This is not a race. This is a test of self-knowledge. Anyone can win! When you sign up you will provide your best guess as to how long it will take you to compete the course (approximately 3 miles). You can run fast, you can run slow. Your only goal is to get as close as possible to that prediction.
Maybe this doesn't seem that hard without the kicker: NO phones or watches. No timing devices of any sort. That's right, we will tell you with scientific accuracy how dependent you are on your watch.
The prediction run is limited to 200 participants! Sign up now to avoid regrets!
The OFFICIAL RULES:
- No watches, phones or timekeeping devices
- No GPS devices (you're gonna have to put this one in Strava manually)
- Have fun, enjoy running
- Ties will be broken by the ultimate competition of wits: rock-paper-scissors, best two out of three, go on shoot.
Not convinced? There's more:
We know leaving your watch behind makes some of you shake in your running shoes, so we have some added incentive!
- Awards (fabulous prize for the overall winner)
- Door prizes (you just have to show up!)
- Pals
- Good times
It's only fun if you show up!
You don't even have to charge your watch the night before! Just imagine all the time you'll save!
