LAST MINUTE NOTES - June 16, 2018
Cirque is less of a “race” but more of a “happening” however we expect many of you to run a PR and we will do everything possible to help you get it. That said, you are only “racing” again the clock; How many miles can you run, walk or crawl in your chosen time limit? You do the running and we do the math.
Please go to our website and check out our event Rules and FAQs so there will be no confusion: https://www.trailrunevents.com/cirque-du-griffith-park-612-hour.html
Here are a few more notes to help you out!
If you are unable to run for any reason, please remember that your entry fee is non-refundable, non-deferrable to another event and may not be transferred to another runner.

INDIVIDUAL ENTRANTS
How far can you run, jog or walk in six or twelve hours? You keep going and going and we will calculate your mileage for you. Timed ultra marathon races are super fun because you always have someone to run with and with a flat course and support every 2.5 miles, the miles will add up! While this is not intended to be competitive, we hope everyone gets a PR!
RELAY ENTRANTS
Share the fun with your friends by running the team relay. This is a non-competitive relay with teams of 2, 4, or 6 runners for the 12 Hour only.
