ANY
GIVEN
SATURDAY.
The 40-yard dash isn't just for the pros anymore.
No spikes. No ego. Just 120 feet of glory.
HOW IT GOES DOWN.

Show Up, Sprint, Get Timed
120 feet. Laser-timed. Filmed in slow-mo. You leave with your time, your clip, and a story for Monday.
COMPETITIVELY
AVERAGE.
You ever sit at a bar and tell someone you were kinda fast in high school? Yeah. We've all done it. Nobody believes you. (Honestly, you don't either.)
Now there's a way to find out. Not in a stadium. Not against college sprinters. Just you, a stopwatch, and the neighbors who also think they've still got it.
This isn't a league. It's not a club. It's a few dozen regular people lining up in a parking lot to settle, once and for all, who's the fastest barista in Wicker Park — or the fastest sales lead in the West Loop.
REAL BRAGGING RIGHTS. REGULAR PEOPLE. ONE STRAIGHT LINE.
NO PRO STATUS
REQUIRED.
Corporate execs. Neighborhood baristas. Dads with cargo shorts. Dog-walkers, dentists, dishwashers. If you can run in a roughly straight line for ~6 seconds, you belong on the line.
We've timed a CFO in loafers. He came back in sneakers.
Standing all day at the espresso bar = secret cardio.
Seriously. Stretch. We don't want to meet your physical therapist.
YOU RACE YOUR
OWN BRACKET.
Nobody wants to line up against a 22-year-old D1 transfer when they're a 47-year-old accountant. So we don't make you. Everyone runs the same 120 feet — but Golden Hammies are awarded by bracket.
Office sprinters. Rec-league legends. Guys who 'used to play.'
Dads, vets, and gentlemen who still claim a 4.6 in high school.
Baristas, lawyers, soccer alums. The reigning queens of the hood.
Moms who out-sprint their kids. CFOs in fresh sneakers.
// ONE LINE. FOUR THRONES.
Everyone gets their time, their slow-mo clip, and a spot on the leaderboard. But the Golden Hammies — Chicago's most prestigious (and probably thrifted) trophies — go to the fastest in each bracket per neighborhood drop.
