Plan Lisboa Backyard Ultra

Use the listed edition as your starting point. Each tool keeps imported race facts separate from the targets and assumptions you choose.

This is a past edition. These details are for reference; confirm a future edition before making a plan.

Listed edition: Sep 26, 2026
Format: Backyard Ultra
Distance: 6.706 km per yard
Local start time: 8:00 AM Saturday
Duration / cutoff: Last person standing
Crew and pacers: A friend may help in the start/finish zone, but nobody may support runners on the course, and during the first ten laps support is limited to one companion per runner. No pacers: only runners still in the race may be on the loop, which excludes eliminated runners. Trekking poles and other artificial aids are banned, and slower runners must let others pass. As the race goes on, eliminated runners are asked to move their camps away from the start area so the remaining runners can set up closer; they are welcome to stay and cheer.
Drop bags: No drop bags. Runners keep their gear in their own shelter beside the start/finish; the organizer asks for small or medium tents so everyone fits, with spots taken in order of arrival.
