Taking
place on 18th May in Margate, Kent, Red Bull Quicksand could be
the most challenging mile you ever run. Competitors will push through
the sand in an energy-sapping knockout format, with heats, semi-finals
and finals.
On
top of the obvious challenges that come with running on sand (runners
expend 1.6 times more energy on sand than running on a road surface) –
the course is festooned with sandy climbs over 10m high, giving
competitors a full examination of endurance, acceleration and bursts of
speed.
Entrants must be 18 or older.
