THREE THONG THANG

DA$H FOR CA$H

ASCENT: 0m
CUT OFF: NONE

A dash for cash, winners take all, though it wouldn’t be a WTF event without a little something different. All participants must run/sprint/dash/stagger in three thongs – one for each foot and then one that is the other kind of thong, the kind that they mean when they say ‘thong’ in America. Dress for speed excess and get your skates on, though by skates we mean thongs. (Note: mankinis are acceptable).

TTT RULES & NOTES:

YES - modesty-wear is okay should you feel you need it (but we encourage the full G-monty). So yes, you can wear leggings, tops of course (!), and anything really, so long as you have a pair of thongs on your feet and one ‘thong - g-string - or g-string-like bit of apparel worn somewhere on your hips and covering your bits.

THE FENTON RULE: No you cannot tape your foot-based thongs to your feet for running or aerodynamic purposes. You can of course use tape as your third thong. For aerodynamic purposes of course. Things (feet based) must be flapping free in the wild. (rule so named for Runner Chats’ Nathan Fenton who was pre-scheming.)

BLOW OUTS: should you blow a thing… racin’s rubbin’, rubbin’s racin … you should have got a quality pair of thongs! No excuse - even if you come across the line first, you don’t win - first place getters MUST cross the line with thongs intact. But if you are a Multiday Madness, you still need to cross the line. Thongs or not.

CASH PRIZE: $200 for first male, $200 for first female. Winners will only be awarded first over the line if wearing the three thongs - that is two on the feet and one around the middle.

THE COURSE: To be confirmed.

MULTIDAY MADNESS MANDATORY: MULTIDAY MADNESS ENTRANTS MUST PARTICIPATE IN THE TTT, LEST A 20 minute penalty be applied to overall timing.
