Transcript excerpt

This is hands down the coolest five k in the country, and it's run exactly like an f one race. So this is the Bad Grand Prix hosted by Bandit Running, but this is nothing like your local charity five k. They run the whole thing like rank actual F1 Grand Prix. During the day, you've got five ks races that work as qualifying heats. The top finishers move on to the three ks Superfinal at night. And here's the F1 part. Where you finish your qualifying heat sets your spot on the starting grid for the finals. So the better you run, the better your pole position. The course is a multi lap circuit. You do five laps weaving your way through this warehouse and through turns outside, but the inside is where it's wild. It's rank, red lights everywhere, a DJ going the entire tier, and spectators lining the course. It feels like an underground party that you're running through. Then it ends with a podium celebration and a full after party right there in the warehouse. No other brand in running is doing anything close to this. Bandit, well done once again.
