​Easy Summer Run : the concept

 

​The first edition of the Easy Summer Run took place on August 16, 2025. Here is the concept:

​

Participants start the run together at the beginning of the day, running around the track until they reach 2.5 miles (10 laps) during the first half hour. Once the distance is completed, runners stop and rest until the next block. For example: a runner finishes her 2.5 miles in 25 minutes and rests for 5 minutes. 

​​

At the beginning of each half hour (on the :00 and :30), participants must be ready to set off again and the start is given for the next miles. The race can last up to 9 hours.

​​

The aim: to stay in the race as long as possible.

​

There are 3 ways for one's run to end : 

1. a personal decision to stop

2. the inability to complete the distance within a half hour (pace)

3. participant's absence at the starting line at the beginning of a half hour block ​​​​​
