Feel the energy. Find your pace. Celebrate the finish. Ten kilometres, with no position-based elimination.
YOUR NEXT LAP STARTS HERE.
10 km for everyone. 98 laps to endure.
One final lap to race for the win.
99 LAPS is an endurance race with a final sprint for victory. You do not have to aim for lap 99.
You just have to want to be at the start.
Here for the experience? Run your 10 km and celebrate. Want to keep going? The challenge begins at lap 11.
Feel the energy. Find your pace. Celebrate the finish. Ten kilometres, with no position-based elimination.
The same start. A bigger question. Make it through lap 98 and earn your place in the final lap.
MORE THAN JUST WORDS.
Words to wear on your chest.
And to repeat when your legs
start negotiating.

ONE LOOP. THREE STAGES.
The course stays the same.
You do not.
Ten opening kilometres. No position-based cuts. Your challenge can end here. Your celebration does not have to.
Run a lap. Stop and recover until the next start. Wait for the signal before running again. Time windows get tighter, with position-based cuts at announced laps.
The remaining runners start together. The fastest woman and the fastest man on this final lap win.
THE CHALLENGE, MADE SIMPLE.
Laps are not continuous. Each has its own start: run, return to the recovery area and wait for the next signal. Finishing earlier gives you more time to rest.
Run, return to the recovery area and wait for the signal. The earlier you finish, the longer you rest.
Breathe. Recover. Get ready for the next lap.
You finish at 08:00. Next start at 14:00.
Run again. Rest again. The cycle repeats.
8 min running + 6 min recovering = 14 min between starts. The break is included in these 14 minutes; it is not extra time.
Illustrative example, subject to approval. To continue, complete a valid lap and reach the starting gate before the next signal. At the time limit, rest is not guaranteed.Assumption: a 1 km loop with simultaneous starts at each listed interval. Times include running and recovery before the next start. Provisional model, not the official schedule.
| Phase | Laps | Between starts | Phase duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Opening / no position-based cuts | 1–10 | 15 min | 2h30 |
| Phase 1 | 11–30 | 14 min | 4h40 |
| Phase 2 | 31–50 | 13 min | 4h20 |
| Phase 3 | 51–70 | 12 min | 4h00 |
| Phase 4 | 71–85 | 11 min | 2h45 |
| Phase 5 | 86–98 | 10 min | 2h10 |
| Final | 99 | Mass start | Lap time decides |
20h25 until the final, in this model and without delays or additional breaks. On lap 99, the fastest woman and the fastest man win.
Each lap has a scheduled start time.
Complete the course within the time limit.
Wait for the next start. The earlier you finish, the more time you have to recover.
Be there before the next signal. Only set off when the next start is given.
From lap 11 to 98, the time limit decreases in phases. To continue, complete a valid lap and be at the gate before the next signal.
Cuts may take place on laps 25, 50, 75 and 90, separately for women and men. Position-based elimination only applies when active runners exceed the published limit for their category.
Basic rules are in development. Lap times, cut limits and schedules will be published after approval. On the 99th lap, the fastest woman and the fastest man win.

06 / BEFORE THE START
No. Choose the 10 KM EXPERIENCE and finish at 10 km. The full challenge is for those who want to continue from lap 11.
Yes. The opening 10 km are a standalone experience, with no position-based elimination. Afterwards, stay to cheer and watch the final.
No. Each lap has a new start. After finishing, stop in the recovery area and wait for the next signal. Earlier finishers get more rest. From lap 11 to 98, if you finish at the limit, you may use the direct lane without guaranteed rest. Finishing a lap does not allow you to start the next one immediately.
The opening start may be organised in waves. From lap 11 to 98, starts are scheduled and lap time limits decrease in phases. The schedule will be published in the official rules.
You must complete a valid lap and be at the gate before the next signal. You may use the direct lane, with no guaranteed rest.
Runners who validly complete lap 98 qualify for lap 99. The fastest woman and man on that lap win their respective categories. A sole remaining runner must also complete a valid final lap.
The shirt has its own section with front, back and zoomed detail views. It is a concept subject to approval. The medal will be revealed soon, with award conditions to be announced.
