H+P Arctic Mile

Why not have a reason to stay in somewhat decent shape leading into the offseason?

Concept:

Run a mile as fast as you can- solo, or with somebody in your bubble!

When:

Anytime from January 1st-15th

Options:

Hit the Strava segment - the segment time is what counts!

*Pro tip: Wait for a green light and start at the other side of the intersection at FH/University. Make sure to keep running onto Erb at the finish.

OR run a mile on your own using this criteria:

• Must not have an elevation loss of more than 5m- so it still can be a fast course, but the official one is a bit better!
• Must have a glitch-free GPS file posted to Strava (no track times or other tight loops courses- confirm with us if unsure)
• Once complete, e-mail us with your final time + a link to the Strava activity

Results:

Yes, they will be rankings eligible, posted on HPWR! Once again, this is deviating from our usual inclusion criteria (this time quite a bit). You most definitely will get a boost with these results. But hey, COVID cheated us, so why not cheat-back a little bit!

You can make multiple attempts, but only your best will count in the results.

Prizes:

• Overall, AG winners will get social media props- post any pics of you in action in the group!
