24hr Backyard Ultra
24hr 2 Person Relay Team Backyard Ultra
The 6hr, and 12hr are great events to get a taste of what we offer. These events are run continuously. From the sound of the cowbell, see how many laps you can achieve before the end of your time. We don't count half laps, just completed laps. If we have several athletes who achieve the same amount of laps, the athlete who completes that final lap the fastest will be declared the champion.
Our 24hr event is really something special. This is a backyard ultra. We offer a 6.7km course that needs to be completed every hour. At the start of every hour our cowbell will be chimed. This will signal the start of a fresh hour and lap. Those who have not completed their lap within the one-hour limit, unfortunately this will mark the end of their journey.
This year we are offering a 24-hour 2-person relay. This is a great way to dip your feet into the world of a 24hr backyard event. Your team of two will alternate between runners on every lap. You must still finish your lap before the 1 hr timer and have your partner ready to go. If your partner is unable to continue, when their lap approaches, your team's race will be over.
You can't start before the chime of the cowbell at the top of every hour. Even if you finish your lap in 40 minutes, you must wait until the cowbell is chimed at 60 minutes to signal the start of a new lap and new hour.
Note that the 24 hour backyard ultra rules will still remain in effect. The athletes who finish the last lap are the victors.
Please note: There are no refunds. We apologize that there are no refunds for our events. We do allow for deferrals to another of our events, but this must be done 4 weeks prior to your registered event.
