🏆 The Backyard Ultra

This isn’t just a race—it’s a battle of perseverance and grit. The Backyard Ultra takes place on a 4.18-mile scenic course, with start times beginning at 8:00 AM and repeating every hour, on the hour. Runners have just one hour to complete the loop and return to the start line, ready to begin again. The race continues until only one runner remains who can finish the loop and start the next on time.

• Refreshments: Refreshments will be available at the start line, but we encourage all participants to bring a support crew to meet your unique needs.
• Inclusive: Not ready for an ultra? This event offers a challenge for runners of all levels. Set your own lap or distance goal and show up to test your limits!
• Time? Cumulative Mileage at each hour varies. For example, after 8 AM, you can expect to cover 4.18 miles, increasing cumulatively every hour until 50.16 miles by 7 PM.
