IS THE EVENT FREE?

NO.. DIDN’T YOU READ THE HOME PAGE!?

ENTRY COSTS 60 CHF PER TEAM. SPOTS CAN BE RESERVED VIA THE LOS FELIZ APP. THAT’S ONLY 30 FRANCS PER PERSON FOR A SHOT AT ETERNAL GLORY!?

WILL THERE BE PRIZES?

YES, THE TOP 3 TEAMS WILL BE REWARDED WITH CASH PRIZES. FIRST PLACE = 500 CHF, SECOND = 300 CHF, THRID = 200 CHF. DO YOU BACK YOURSELF TO WIN THE EVENT?

HOW LONG DOES AN EVENT LAST?

WAVES WILL START AT AROUND 9AM MEANING THE EVENT WILL BE DONE BY APPROX. 1PM. WE ENCOURAGE SPECTATORS AND ATHLETES TO HANG AROUND AFTER FOR SOME GOOD VIBES!

WHERE DOES THE EVENT TAKE PLACE?

THE LOCATION WILL BE SHARED WITH YOU VIA EMAIL 6 DAYS BEFORE THE EVENT. HOWEVER, IT WILL BE IN / AROUND ZURICH CITY. THE RACE WILL TAKE PLACE OUTSIDE, RAIN OR SHINE (BUT IT IS JULY SO, WE PRAY FOR SUN!).

HOW DO WE KNOW WHICH HEAT WE ARE IN?

YOUR STARTING WAVE WILL BE PROVIDED 3 DAYS PRIOR TO THE EVENT. IT WILL ALWAYS BE BETWEEN 9AM AND 11.00AM.

HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHAT TEAMS ARE IN EACH HEAT?

A RANDOM DRAW WILL DECIDE WHAT HEAT YOU WILL RACE IN. REMEMBER, TWO ? FOUR IS ABOUT TACTICS AS WELL AS SPEED. FIND A WAY TO WIN.

WHAT SURFACE WILL WE RUN ON?

THE SURFACE MIGHT BE ROAD, TRACK OR GRASS. BE READY FOR ANY POSSIBILITY.

WHAT ARE THE MYSTERY EXERCISES?

THEY ARE A MYSTERY FOR A REASON, DUH! HOWEVER, WHAT WE CAN SAY IS THAT THEY WILL ALWAYS INVOLVE EITHER YOUR UPPER BODY, LOWER BODY OR BOTH.

WHEN DO WE COMPLETE THE MYSTERY EXERCISE?

THIS IS WHERE TACTICS COME INTO PLAY. YOU CAN COMPLETE THE MYSTERY EXERCISE ANYTIME YOU LIKE DURING THE RACE. HOWEVER, ONE BAD DECISION HERE MIGHT BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WINNING AND LOSING. DON’T SAY WE DIDN’T WARN YOU.

DO WE HAVE TO SPLIT THE MYSTERY EXERCISE EVENLY?

NO, YOU CAN SPLIT THE EXERCISE IN ANY WAY YOU LIKE. HOWEVER IT MUST BE 100% COMPLETE BEFORE YOU RETURN TO THE RUNNING ZONE.

DO WE BOTH NEED TO RUN THE FULL DISTANCE?

YES, BOTH TEAM MEMBERS MUST RUN THE 4KM DISTANCE. THERE IS NOT A LIMIT ON HOW FAR APART YOU RUN, HOWEVER, YOU CAN ONLY START THE MYSTERY EXERCISE ONCE BOTH PARTICIPANTS ARE IN THE EXERCISE ZONE AND YOU MUST CROSS THE FINISH LINE TOGETHER.

HOW DOES THE TOKEN SYSTEM WORK?

EACH EVENT WILL HAVE 3 HEATS. THE 1ST AND 2ND PLACE TEAM IN EACH HEAT RECEIVES A TOKEN. IF YOU WIN A TOKEN, YOU QUALIFY FOR THE FINAL IN WEEK 4. SIMPLE.

WE WON A TOKEN BUT WE CAN'T MAKE THE FINAL IN WEEK 4, WHAT DO WE DO?

WE ASK THAT YOU ONLY ENTER THE COMPETITION IF YOU CAN COMMIT TO BOTH YOUR QUALIFYING HEAT AND THE GRAND FINALE.

WE SIGNED UP FOR BOTH QUALIFIERS BUT WE WON A TOKEN ALREADY, CAN WE KEEP RACING?

YES! IF YOU WIN A TOKEN IN WEEK 1, YOU CAN RACE IN WEEK 2. IN THIS SCENARIO, IF YOU WIN A HEAT IN WEEK 2 (1ST OR 2ND PLACE), THE TOKEN WILL GO TO THE THIRD PLACE TEAM. IN SHORT, YOU CAN RACE IN BOTH QUALIFIERS BUT YOU CAN ONLY WIN A TOKEN ONCE. THIS IS ALL YOU NEED TO SECURE YOUR SPOT IN THE FINAL.

WHY IS THERE A 45 MINUTE TIME LIMIT?

TWO ? FOUR IS A FITNESS RACE BUT ALSO A SOCIAL EVENT. THE 45 MINUTE TIME LIMIT ENSURES THAT IF YOU ARE IN THE FIRST HEAT OF THE DAY, YOU ARE NOT WAITING TOO LONG TO ENJOY THE SOCIAL PART AFTER. IT ALSO KEEPS THE RACE FAST PACED AND ENSURES EVERYONE HAS A GOAL TO AIM FOR THAT ISN’T WINNING: JUST FINISH. IF YOU FINISH WITHIN THE TIME LIMIT, BE PROUD!

I AM SICK / SOMETHING CAME UP, CAN SOMEONE REPLACE ME IN MY TEAM?

YES, THIS IS POSSIBLE. HOWEVER, A COMPLETE NO SHOW WILL RESULT IN A PERMANENT BAN FROM TWO ? FOUR. THIS EVENT IS NOT FOR PROFIT, SO PARTICIPATION IS KEY TO ENABLING US TO KEEP RUNNING IT.

ARE FOOD AND DRINKS PROVIDED?

NO, BRING YOUR OWN. ALTHOUGH, IN THE FINAL WEEK, WE PLAN A COMMUNITY BBQ. WE ARE ALSO EXPLORING SOME COLLABORATIONS FOR FOOD / DRINK AND WILL ANNOUNCE ANYTHING RELEVANT AHEAD OF THE EVENT.

CAN MY FRIENDS COME TO WATCH?

YES, THIS IS POSSIBLE. HOWEVER, LET’S RESPECT THE SPACES WE ARE IN AS WELL AS OTHER MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY AT ALL TIMES. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN A BAN FROM FUTURE TWO ? FOUR EVENTS.

ALL THE OTHE TEAMS IN MY HEAT WERE REALLY FAST, IT WASN'T FAIR, WHAT DO I DO?

SEND YOUR COMPLAINT TO:

JUSTGOFASTERNEXTIME@GMAIL.COM

OK, THAT WAS A JOKE. LEGIT THOUGH, THIS EVENT IS ABOUT MUCH MORE THAN WINNING A TOKEN. COME TO ENJOY THE DAY, REGARDLESS OF WHERE YOU FINISH.

WILL MY TIME BE RECORDED?

YES BUT WE DON’T CARE ABOUT YOUR SPECIFIC TIME. THIS IS A RACE AND IN EACH HEAT THERE ARE ONLY 2 OBJECTIVES. 1) FINISH FIRST AND 2) FINISH UNDER THE 45 MINUTE TIME LIMIT. THE REST DOESN’T MATTER FOR US BUT AGAIN.. BE PROUD IF YOU FINISH!

WILL THERE BE A CLOCK TO TRACK THE 45 MINUTE TIME LIMIT?

YES, THIS CLOCK WILL BE VISIBLE AT THE STARTING POINT OF EACH LAP SO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH TIME YOU HAVE LEFT.

CAN I CHANGE PARTNERS?

YES, BUT ONLY IF YOU HAVEN’T WON A TOKEN YET. IF YOU HAVE WON A TOKEN AND WANT TO RACE AGAIN, YOU SHOULD NOT CHANGE PARTNERS. THIS GIVES THE HIGHEST CHANCE FOR OTHER COMPETITORS TO REACH THE FINAL. IF YOU HAVE ALREADY WON A TOKEN BUT WANT TO KEEP RACING IN THE SAME TEAM, THIS IS TOTALLY FINE.

CONFUSED? LET US EXPLAIN..

IN WEEK 1 YOU + YOUR PARTNER WIN A TOKEN.

IN WEEK 2 YOU + YOUR NEW PARTNER WIN A TOKEN.

THERE’S ONLY ONE YOU, SO NOW YOU NEED TO PICK WHICH PARTNER TO RACE WITH IN THE FINAL. THIS MEANS A SPOT FOR ANOTHER TEAM HAS BEEN TAKEN. NOT COOL BRO. IT’S CONFUSING FOR EVERYONE, JUST DON’T DO IT? DEAL?

WHEN DO WE PURCHASE OUR SPOT FOR THE FINAL IF WE QUALIFY?

AFTER QUALIFYING ROUND 2 (JULY 13TH), ALL TEAMS WHO HAVE MADE THE FINAL CAN PURCHASE THEIR SPOT.

THIS WILL COST AN ADDITIONAL 60 FRANCS.

WE STATE AGAIN THAT MONEY MADE FROM THIS EVENT WILL GO TO THE COMPETITORS AND TO REINVESTING IN FUTURE TWO ? FOUR EVENTS.
