Every participant starts at exactly the same moments across the globe, racing away from the start line. UK participants will then be chased by the event's signature virtual "Catcher Car", which gives you a 30-minute head start. When this moving finish line passes you, you’ve successfully completed your race, with the last man and woman to be caught named the global champions. The moving finisher-line format means that everyone, no matter their fitness level, can be sure of finishing the race - all you need to do is start!
