The Solution
All Pace Races aims to alleviate all of these problems whilst still giving the experience of completing an ultra-distance event.
-
1 Weekend. It's amazing what you can do in such a short period of time.
-
4 Routes instead of 1. This means there is no worrying about being miles from the start/finish.
-
4 Routes also allows for more opportunities to crossover with other riders.
-
No need to carry all the gear you need. By having a central Start/Checkpoint/Finish that you go through multiple times, you can leave bulky heavy items such as sleeping bags to use later.
-
A safe place to lay your head. By having a central Start/Checkpoint/Finish you are able to use it as a safe place to sleep.
-
The central Start/Checkpoint/Finish will always have water. No need to worry about filling your bottles up.
