What is a BACKYARD ULTRA?

The Beach Backyard Ultra is a form of ultramarathon race where competitors must consecutively run a 6.7km lap of a pre-determined course in less than one hour. When each lap is completed, the remaining time within the hour is typically used to recover for the next hour's race.

Exactly one hour after Beach Backyard Ultra’s first lap (20.00h), the competitors must run the next 6.7km lap with a one-hour window for completion. These distance loops are repeated hourly. The race ends when there is only one person remaining on course and they complete their final 6.7km loop and cross the finish line. 

The distance the runners race each hour is set at 6.67 km. The total distance run by a competitor who completes 24 hours is exactly 160km (100 miles). The race will end when the last runner completes a solo loop within the allotted time.
