Event Overview
The event is billed as a 24-hour endurance race. In actuality, the event covers a weekend, and participants endure a number of qualifiers along with the main endurance race of varying total hours, depending on the venue, although the organizers state that they will run at least one true 24-hour race every year. As stated by the event organizers:
Yeah, it's real racing. That said, between the thick scrum of crapcans in front of you and our aversion to long, flat-out straightaways, you're not going to set any speed records. It's kinda like a loud, hot, noisy version of driving to work. For a really, really long time. Without actually getting anywhere. And it's a lot harder to drink coffee through the helmet. Oh, and, you know, it's more dangerous.

Famous quotes containing the word event:
“I feared these present years,
The middle twenties,
When deftness disappears,
And each event is
Freighted with a source-encrusting doubt,
And turned to drought.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
