Nielson Challenge

This event challenges runners by calculating a personalized handicap based on past performance, using an algorithm by Bob Royse. Participants aim to surpass their handicap time, creating a fair competition for both beginners and experienced runners. The event takes place monthly on the same course, providing a consistent gauge of fitness. The runner showing the most significant improvement from their handicap receives a Nielson shirt, sponsored by EON Studios. This format is particularly conducive for noting progress over time, favoring those who train regularly and showing measurable performance trends.
