Chess-5K?

You’ve heard of chess boxing, how about chess 5K

I haven’t come up with a composite score for the two events yet.

Rules
Start time of 5K and first round must be within 36 hrs.
Regular rated only
At least 3 rounds

Score for chess
Performance rating

Score for 5k
A performance rating based on something like
15 min - 2800
40 min - 1000

and a score for finishing, but slower than 40 min

Haven’t figured out how much weight to give the 5K yet

Years ago we came up with the idea of combining chess with roller derby, the teams can only make one move on each trip around the rink. And if they’re blocked from the board, they have to go around again, even if their clock is running.

BTW, if you’ve ever seen the 1975 film “Rollerball”, with James Caan, the actors making that film apparently had so much fun filming the scenes where they were playing rollerball that when filming was done they played a complete game just for fun.

In New Hampshire, Mike Sullivan (now of Oklahoma, if memory serves) ran a chess tournament in conjunction with a small town fair that also boasted a 5K race. He awarded the “Renaissance Man” award to the top overall finisher in the chess tournament and road race. To calculate the winner, he evaluated the percentage of chess players beaten out by the competitor and added it to the percentage of runner beaten out by that same player. The highest total would win the prize.

I suppose there’s a number of ways to do it, but that was fun in a small town setting.
