Scoring

How the result works

Each player calls a target pace or effort before the segment starts.

Example: Pick one song-length timer or set a 3 to 5 minute segment without relying on lyrics or copyrighted prompts.

Host tip

Keep it clean

Starting before the route, station, or finish area is clear. Inspect and reset it first.

Safety: Use a suitable route and pace, warm up when needed, respect weather and surfaces, and stop for pain, dizziness, traffic, or unsafe conditions.
