Some fun for your Friday...the official SPACE RACE finishers recap!
• Twelve INTERSTELLAR runners completed this course's entire 16 laps, or 13.6 miles, in our two-hour time frame. We had no idea how many of these more-than-half-marathon runners to expect, so 12 of them was truly a surprise!
• Saturn was this year's most popular landing destination, amounting to seven laps of 5.95 miles. Second most popular was Mars at four laps or 3.4 miles.
• It takes two hours and 40 minutes for light to travel from the sun to Uranus — so at our two-hour race, when 92 runners got to Uranus (at least eight loops), we say they traveled faster than the speed of light.
• Never heard of Arrokoth, Eris, Voyager, Kuiper Belt or the Oort Cloud? Prepare to impress all your friends: we've uploaded some easy-to-consume lap descriptions to https://bit.ly/3g7Oe7F.
• YES, we will host the SPACE RACE again in 2023! Stay tuned for the date to save to be announced early next year.
