Following on from my Prepare to be Humbled post earlier today, I’ve decided to host a “Guess the Distance” giveaway in association with MISSION Skincare™. Up for grabs are 12 individual products from the MISSION Skincare™ range. All you have to do to enter is leave a comment below with your best guess of how many miles I will cover between 7am Saturday and 7am Sunday at the 24-Hour Adventure Trail Run. Be sure to leave an email address so I can make contact in the event you win a prize.
Not required, but would be cool:
- If you’re a Twitter user, please consider following Mission Skincare™. A tweet to let people know you’ve entered the giveaway would be appreciated too. Click here to send an automated tweet, or feel free to tweet in your own words if you’d prefer.
- If you’re on Facebook, please consider liking Mission Skincare™. If you’re feeling generous, you could always post a link to the giveaway on your wall too. Of course, to increase your chances of winning, you’ll probably want to keep the contest to yourself….
From the 24-hour ATR race rules: For 2011, each complete loop of the 24-Hour Adventure Trail Run will qualify the runner for 6.25 miles towards their final mileage count. The time of each loop will be marked electronically. This will enable precise loop times. Runners who get to the mid-point satellite aid station before the 24 Hours are up (7:00am May 8th) will receive credit for that mileage towards the final standings.
Closest guess to my ACTUAL OFFICIAL mileage will win product #1. Next closest will win product #2, all the way down to product #12. There are no official rules, so in the event of a tie I’ll use my discretion to determine the winners. Here’s what I have up for grabs:

Have fun Steve
BYB
Define your “Strong”
106.25 – 17 Laps
I’ll be thinking of you!!
For the sake of consistency with my DM post, 125. Have fun, Steve!
my estimate is 124 miles,
which I have never done in a week let alone 24hrs 😮
Good Luck Steve and have fun.
I’m going with 104 miles aka 16 laps
I think you’ll retire once you pass Tommy’s 86.5 from last month, so I’m going with an easy 87.5.
I am going with 96 miles.
I’ll guess 18 laps, 112.50.
BYB and have a great time Steve. You are going to do great!
I’ll be thinking of you Saturday.
I was gonna go with 78, but maybe that’s to low. I’m thinking 116.
I’ll go with 113.
I’m staying consistent with DM as well 93.75 because altho it’s not 100 miles, it is a nice round 15 laps. But in my heart, I think you’ll pound out more! The Mission product set is AWESOME BTW!
FOr consistency yet again… 126!
I’ll guess 106.25 miles in 23 hours 45 minutes. Am I too late?
