12-hour run
A 12-hour run is a form of ultramarathon in which each competitor tries to run as far as possible in 12 hours. The event is typically held on 1 to 2 mi (1.6 to 3.2 km) loops, but sometimes is held on 400-metre (0.25 mi) tracks.[1] Some races are held on trails and others are held on sidewalks in city parks. Top runners will often run 60 miles (97 km) or more (the best doing about 100 miles (160 km)), depending on conditions. Some participants will have a crew to help them, while others set up a camp with their equipment and supplies near the starting area, with good access from each loop.

gollark: Apparently the new skynet3™ code works perfectly until ??? happens if I try and connect a bunch of websockets to it at the same time, at which point it irrecoverably deadlocks or something.
gollark: Each half acted basically independently, but then rationalized whatever the other half did.
gollark: This turned out to actually be quite a bad idea.
