The 6-hour run is a form of the ultramarathon and is one of the runs defined by a certain period of time, in which the participants try to cover the longest possible distance within the given time.

Brief description

The 6-hour run is a relatively young ultra marathon. As a road race , the course often consists of a (usually officially measured) 1 to 3 km long lap, which can also be up to approx. 5 kilometers. The track is usually a 400 meter oval track. 6-hour runs can also be held in the hall. The refreshment stands are mostly in the start-finish area, but for larger laps they can also be set up in the middle of the route.

The runners wear transponder chips on their shoes or in their start numbers, with which every passage through an electronic counter is automatically measured. After exactly six hours, the runners have to stop immediately and wait until one of several measuring teams comes by and determines the exact distance. But there is also the possibility to determine the distance covered by putting down an object. In Münster, for example, as soon as it was foreseeable that the last lap was due, the runners received a small sand-filled balloon with the respective start number, which had to be taken off at the signal after six hours at the point on the running route.

In the open air, the men usually cover 50 to 65 kilometers, the top athletes cover 80 to 85 kilometers and more. In 2016, 28 men and one woman ran 80 kilometers worldwide.

The 6-hour run can also be held in combination with a 12- or 24-hour run or an hour run as well as 2- or 3-hour runs can be counted for yourself . Relays can also be admitted.

The oldest run in Germany is the Self-Transcendence 6-hour run in Nuremberg , the largest is the 6-hour run in Münster .

history

Ultra Self-Transcendence Ottawa

6-hour runs are documented by the German Ultramarathon Association (DUV) from the mid-1970s, such as the Accolade 100 (100 Miles Track Running Race) from October 25, 1975, a 100  miles (approx. 160 km) track run in Tipton (England) . In the 1980s, however, the races were almost only split between longer runs and only very occasionally pure 6-hour runs. Only from the beginning of the 1990s are they increasingly documented, first for Europe, then in North America. Some events existed for many years, such as the "6 hours Ultraloop" in Amersfoort , and some even to this day, such as the Self-Transcendence 6-hour run Nuremberg and the "Self Transcesdence" runs in Kingston (Ontario) or with Interruption and conversion from 24 to six hours in Ottawa . In Japan, the Hiratsuka 6-hour race celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2016 . Since the beginning of the 2000s, the 6-hour runs have enjoyed increasing popularity worldwide, so that due to their large number, some events were discontinued after a short time.

Records

The 6-hour run is one of the disciplines in which no official records are held.

World records

On March 11, 2017, Nele Alder-Baerens set a new world record at the 6-hour run in Münster with 85.492 km and improved the previous record of the Japanese Norimi Sakurai (83.200 km) on September 27, 2003 by 2.3 kilometers. The British Donald Ritchie holds the world record for men with 97.200 km from October 28, 1978 (August 20, 2016).

World and European championships

So far there are no world or European championships. However, the “6-hour Hero Cup” is held in Europe.

Sri Chinmoy 6-Hour Hero Cup

The “Sri Chinmoy 6-Hour Hero Cup” or “Sri Chinmoy Self-Transcendence 6-Hour European Championship” (SCEC), in German: “Sri Chinmoy Self-Transcendence 6-Hour European Championship”, has been run by the “Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team “(SCMT).

Venues

The first Hero Cup in 2012 consisted of a total of seven 6-hour races in Europe (including Nuremberg , Vienna , Munich ). The final of the Hero Cup series took place in Munich.

In 2013 the series comprised seven races (Nuremberg, Milan , Nitra , Vienna, Kladno , Lang - Lebring , Munich).

In 2014 and 2015 the Hero Cup was not hosted.

In 2016 the cup consisted of six running competitions (Nuremberg, Milan, Nitra, Vienna, Berlin , Munich).

The 2017 series, which began on September 17, 2016, was expanded to nine runs. In addition to Nuremberg, Nitra, Prague, Vienna and Munich, there were also Belgrade , Amsterdam , Riga and Kiev , where the season began. The series ends again in Munich on September 9, 2017 with the Sri Chinmoy Self-Transcendence 6-Hour European Championship (SCEC) at the Sri Chinmoy Peace-Mile 6-hour run .

Ratings

In 2012 and 2013, every runner who took part in three of the seven 6-hour runs was automatically included in the overall ranking. Every kilometer counted one point, and every run participation received an additional 20 points.

In 2017 there are placement points, starting points and final points. The placement points are awarded to the best 40 men and women and are divided into 100-88-78-72-68-66-64-62-60-58-56-54-52-50 up to one point for the 40th Space. Each starter automatically receives only ten starting points for each participation in one of the runs, regardless of their placement.

At the CUP finals, the placement points are increased by 20% and then rounded, which means that the cup finals are given a higher priority.

Runners can take part in as many races as they want. The best three run results and all starting points count for the cup rating. If a runner takes part in only two races, he or she is included in the ranking with the points earned there. If there is a tie at the end of the top placements, the direct comparison of the participants concerned will be used.
