Nielson Challenge

This recurring event challenges participants to race against their personalized handicap, determined by past performance data. Established for both newcomers and seasoned athletes, the competition uses an algorithm developed by Bob Royse that benefits those who consistently improve, especially beginners and slower runners. The aim is to surpass one's previous efforts on a standardized course, offering a reliable measure of personal progress over time. Winners who excel beyond their handicap receive a Nielson shirt, courtesy of EON Studios, fostering a supportive community through shared achievements and ongoing self-improvement.
