***

It's not a competition against others.

It's about competing against yourself.

It's not about speed.

It's about endurance.

It's about doing hard shit.

It's saying you are going to do something and then going out and doing it.

Go one more mile than you have before.

## Schedule & Info

Show up anytime between 6am - 6pm.

## Route

There are four loops. All loops start and finish at the Shelby Park baseball field (next to the parking lot outside the entrance to Shelby Bottoms Park). The Shelby Park baseball field is base camp. BPN is set up here with supplements.

Each loop is color coded.
