Plan One More Hour Ultra

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

Edition notes: First edition. The first yard started at 12:00 PM (noon) CET on Saturday, November 7, 2026, and the race runs until one runner is left. Some event listings give a 7 km loop and a 7:00 AM start; the organizer’s page gives 6.706 km and noon. The organizer caps the field at 200, while Big’s race page lists 250 places.

Listed edition: Nov 7, 2026
Format: Backyard Ultra
Distance: 6.706 km every hour
Local start time: 12:00 PM (noon) Saturday, November 7 (CET)
Duration / cutoff: Each 6.706 km yard must be finished within the hour, and every new yard starts on the hour. A runner who doesn’t finish in time or doesn’t start the next yard is out, with no late starts. The race has no fixed finish: it runs until one runner is left.
Crew and pacers: Crews may help only at base camp. Spectators are welcome around the clock and may stand along the course, but they may not run with or help runners; doing so disqualifies the runner.
Drop bags: Check the current race rules
