BEGIN

PILGRIMAGE TRACK CLUB One hour run: TBA - Memphis, TN. This is a challenge for hard core runners of all abilities. Race yourself against that cruel master the clock. This is a run for one solid hour on the track. Laps are counted. Then at the our mar, each runner drops a marker to aid judges in determining to the nearest meter or yard. Obviously, there is the goal of the 10 mile club.....

Rule 65, part 10.: In any race decided on the basis of the distance covered in a fixed period of time, the Starter shall fire the pistol or give other audible or visual signal exactly one minute before the end of the race to warn competitors and judges that the race is nearing its end. At the exact specified time after the start, as directed by the Chief Timer, the Starter shall signal the end of the race by again firing the pistol or giving other audible or visual signal. The Timers will then immediately stop their watches. At the instant of the signal of the expiration of time, the Judges appointed for that purpose shall mark the exact spot where each competitor last touched the track before or simultaneously with the final signal. Competitors may be given marking devices to place at their last contact point to aid the Judges. The distance achieved shall be measured to the nearest meter or yard behind the rear edge of the last footprint of the competitor. At least on judge shall be assigned to each competitor before the start of the race for the purpose or recording the time of each lap completed and marking the distance achieved.

part 11. Distances achieved in fixed time period races may be measured in miles, yards or meters. However, the results must be reported in kilometers and/or meters. Distances converted from other than metric measurement must be indicated as such. Any conversions shall always be rounded down to the next lower meter.
