Plan Weserbergland Backyard 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: Sixth edition. The organizer’s final pre-race news, its info sheet, RaceResult and DUV’s calendar all give a 10:00 AM CET start on Saturday, November 7, 2026, after a 9:40 AM briefing; Big’s race page says 9:00 AM. The race runs until one runner is left. The organizer meant to cap entries at 150, but a test registration left open let 26 people enter early, and the race filled with more than 170 entrants and no waiting list. Big’s race page still lists 150 places and calls this the fifth edition, and DUV lists a 200-runner limit. The organizer’s revised info sheet still shows October 23–24 as its schedule dates, with November 6–7 marked as corrections.
