Race planning
Plan Backyard Ultra Llagostera
Use the listed edition as your starting point. Each tool keeps imported race facts separate from the targets and assumptions you choose.
Edition notes: The third edition. All 225 places are taken; a free waiting list runs on The Red Cap Sports, and freed places are offered in order of sign-up. The organizer has not yet published a 2026 live results link. Its results link for 2025 points to a Wiclax page whose address says 2026 but which holds the 2025 results. Big’s race page lists daytime yards until 8:00 PM, 425 ft of climb per day loop and a start outside the pavilion; this record follows the organizer’s 2026 schedule and figures. Big’s labels the race Bronze. Yards completed here count toward Big’s At-Large list, which takes the best results between August 16, 2025 and August 15, 2027.
- Listed edition
- Dec 5, 2026
- Format
- Backyard Ultra
- Distance
- 6.706 km every hour
- Local start time
- 9:00 AM Saturday, December 5
- Duration / cutoff
- Each yard must be finished in under an hour, with whistles 3, 2 and 1 minutes before each start and no late starts. The day loop runs from 9:00 AM to the 5:00 PM yard on Saturday, the night loop from 6:00 PM to the 7:00 AM yard, and the day loop again from 8:00 AM to the 5:00 PM yard on Sunday, then another night if runners remain. No fixed finish: the winner completes a final yard alone, and if nobody can, there is no winner.
- Crew and pacers
- Runners may not receive food or drink from anyone during a yard and must carry what they need in a belt or pack. Running with anyone who has no bib is a disqualification. Leaving the course is allowed only for a toilet stop.
