WINNING TIE-BREAKER MECHANISM: In the case of a tie for first place: coming soon
PRIZE: The winner will be the proud owner of the CFA TCT trophy for the year: the appropriate trophy from which to drink as much beer as you can.
TCT Social Club Extravaganza: To cap off the season, we will have a get-together at a pub:
-
Date: TBD (under no circumstances to conflict with peak peak bagging days)
-
Place: TBA
NO SANDBAGGING: all claims to run sections of the trail, must be submitted as promptly as possible (in most cases, within 3 days) of the actual run. Runs of more than two weeks old will be stale-dated.
HISTORICAL & CULTURAL INTEREST:
ENTRY: There is no fee and you don't need to be a member of Club Fat Ass to participate in a Flash event, however whining is not allowed. That being said, many of the sections should only be attempted by runners/hikers with experience and fitness level of a typical Club Fat Ass member.
IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS: All of these adventures are potentially dangerous.
-
You are responsible for your own well being and safety and should be self sufficient
-
Always run/hike with a buddy.
-
CFA reserves the right to remove anyone from the Challenge for doing reckless, dangerous, destructive, or foolish actions.
