About the Death by 5k Brandon
The challenge here is simple: run the same course over and over through a full day and night, with rest periods in between each leg. The course starts and ends at the RunStrong Training Center, so you always come back to a home base. No aid stations out on the course, so carrying your own hydration is essential, especially given Mississippi summer heat.
Between legs, runners sleep in their cars, pitch a tent in the green space nearby, or head home if they are close. Hot meals come out several times across the event, and snacks stay available throughout. The format turns the parking lot and surrounding area into a kind of base camp that runners drift in and out of across the night.
