Sixteen men. Sixteen women. Two runners, one field, one clock. Win four sprints and you're the fastest in Austin, and a thousand dollars richer.
No second chances. Two runners. One straight 40. The faster sprinter advances. The other is done. We run two brackets side by side, men's and women's, until one champion is left in each.
Every race is 1v1. You line up beside one opponent and settle it over 40 yards. Cleanest format in the sport. First across wins.
16 per bracket: Round of 16, quarters, semis, final. One loss ends your day. Four clean wins and you're the last sprinter standing.
Men's and women's brackets run in parallel. Each crowns its own winner, and each winner takes home an identical $1,000.
Spots fill as qualified runners are seeded in. Lock yours before the bracket closes at 16.
Equal money, equal stage. The fastest man and the fastest woman each leave with a thousand dollars cash.
$2,000 total purse · winners paid on July 4th · bragging rights are permanent
