Endure The Gauntlet is a 48 hour charity run being conducted by Conquer The Gauntlet Pro Evan Perperis at Conquer The Gauntlet Tulsa the weekend of August 24-26 in 2018. Evan will be “running” for all 48 hours but he wants you to join him for a lap or two or more in order to raise money for the charity Folds of Honor.
Participants register for a time block and walk/jog a lap with Evan on the course of Conquer The Gauntlet Tulsa moving at his pace. This is a non-timed event and 100% of your registration costs go directly to charity.
All finishers get a finisher medal and a t-shirt after they finish their lap. For those that are ambitious and like endurance you are allowed to run as many laps as you want with Evan throughout the course of the weekend (minus normal Conquer The Gauntlet race hours, which require a separate registration).
*In order to run with Evan Saturday during the day, you must be registered for the normal Conquer The Gauntlet Tulsa event. Registration link available HERE
FAQs
How can I help out or participate?
- There are two ways to help out. If you can’t make it to the event there is an option to donate. Donation options come in two forms. One is directly to the pot of money going to the charity Folds of Honor. The second is donating to Backside Support. Backside Support donations cover things like money spent on t-shirts/medals for participants and travel fees associated with bringing in Evan’s crew/media to support the event. The second way to help out is to participate by clicking on the registration link.
