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.

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.
Drop bags: Check the current race rules
