Listed edition: Apr 25, 2026 – Apr 30, 2026
Format: Backyard Ultra
Distance: No single distance recorded — choose or confirm a target
Local start time: 10:00 (first bell)
Duration / cutoff: One hour per yard. Each yard starts exactly one hour after the last, with warnings at 3, 2 and 1 minutes, and runners must be in the corral at the bell. The race is open-ended and the winner is the last runner to complete a yard; all others are DNF.
Crew and pacers: There is no limit on crew numbers, but crew must use the designated basecamp aisles and may not enter the starting corral. Pacing is strictly forbidden, and nothing may be handed to or taken from runners on the course; assistance is allowed only in basecamp. A personal crew bracelet (€30) gives access to the runners’ food and standard drinks.
Drop bags: Check the current race rules
