Turkey Trot Predict 5K Colorado Springs

This event is a unique prediction run with a staggered start format. Participants must predict their finish time for the 5K course upon registration. The clock is set to the highest predicted finish time of all runners and counts down as each participant starts running at their predicted time.The format of the race has slower runners starting first, followed by middle-of-the-pack runners and then the faster runners. If everyone predicts their time accurately, they will finish simultaneously, but this rarely happens due to varying predictions. Once the last runner starts, the clock is covered so participants cannot see the time as they approach the finish line, adding a strategic element to the race.

Participants are not allowed to wear watches or use any electronic devices. The clock will initially be set to 50 minutes at a specific time, with participants starting at intervals based on their predicted finish times. It's important to note that there are certain restrictions for the event to ensure the safety of all participants.

Overall, this prediction run offers a unique and exciting racing experience for international travelers looking to challenge themselves in a fun and unpredictable way.
