About
The Backyard Ultra format is simple, run 6.7056 kms every hour, on the hour until you are the last person standing. All you need to do is be in the corral at the start of every hour for the bell and be back in time for the next bell. The winner is the last person to complete a loop. This is a self-supported event in that you must provide all your own food and fluid requirements. There is no aid station provided.
