Hampton Downs and the John Walker Find Your Field of Dreams Foundation proudly present the 2 Hour Racetrack Run - a unique running event taking place at Hampton Downs on Sunday 28th August, 2022.
The 2 Hour Racetrack Run is guaranteed to be traffic free and the location is one we are pretty sure you will not have run on before - a race track! There are sweeping corners, long straights, a gradual incline, and the best part - a downhill corner on Turn 1!
Racetrack Run is open to runners and walkers of all ages and fitness levels. The idea is to run as many laps of the 2.7km National Circuit as you can in two hours.
This is a fundraising event for the John Walker Find Your Field of Dreams Foundation. Make your steps count by setting up a fundraising page via the website - a link will be available in your booking confirmation email. Please help us raise funds by sharing your fundraising page with family, friends and anyone who will listen!
There is no minimum fundraising commitment to participate in the 2 Hour Racetrack Run however we will be encouraging all participants to set a fundraising goal - because it's fun and we know you will smash your target!
All funds raised will go to the John Walker Find Your Field of Dreams Foundation 'Community Swim' programme for lower decile primary school children. They promote 'Water Skills for Life'.
There are three options for the 2 Hour Racetrack Run:
- Individual - Open to runners aged 16+ years old. If you select this option you will be running the entire two hours yourself.
- Team of 2 - One member of the team will be on the track at a time. Your timing transponder will act as your team baton. Each runner must run a minimum of one lap. Beyond that, you can break up the time as you please. As an example, runners could choose to alternate laps, or run for an hour and then swap. Open to runners 13 years of age and older. Runners must only swap their baton in the designated area.
- Team of 4 - One member of the team will be on the track at a time. Your timing transponder will act as your team baton. Each runner must run a minimum of one lap. Beyond that you can break up the time as you please. As an example, runners could choose to alternate laps, or run for thirty minutes each and then swap. Open to runners 13 years of age and older. Runners must only swap their baton in the designated area.
Timing
You/your team will have a timing transponder. Your time will be recorded as the number of complete laps you/your team complete in two hours. At the conclusion of two hours, a hooter will be sounded, at which point those still on the track, can make their way back to the start/finish area. Incomplete laps will not be counted.
The Flying Lap
Kids, start your engines! The Flying Lap consists of one high octane lap around the racetrack. All eyes will be on the juniors as they burn around the track. The Flying Lap is for those under the age of 13 years and will start at 11:45am. This is one lap of the 2.7km National Circuit.
