Sudden Death serves as a tie-breaker race — a head-to-head continuation of the same loop format until one competitor prevails.

🔄 How it works:

1. Tied runners embark on one more lap (same loop as before).

2. The first one back wins.

3. If a competitor fails to start the next lap, or quits, they lose.

4. If both finish the lap together, another lap is required — continue until a winner emerges.
