You have been selected as the Earth's competitor in the 2087 Olympics event,
Star Running. Based loosely on the ancient event known as the Marathon, you must
run at a fast pace over a long distance. There are many obstacles to impede your
progress and when your time runs out your race is terminated. Instead of having
a fixed distance to race you must get the highest score possible by covering the
greatest distance.

The race takes place on a long platform floating in space. Because of the
micro-gravity environment you have a pair of electro-switchable magnetic shoes
to keep you attached to the metallic surfaces of the platform. When you jump off
the platform the shoes switch to hyper-boost mode to pull you back down again.

You will find that some surfaces have a high resistance and should be avoided if
possible.

At all costs avoid the fire pits and the teleport pads but try to pick up the
clocks as they will give you extra time.

REMEMBER - As a loyal Earthian citizen we demand your best effort - Good Luck!!
