Left Handed Giant Backyard Ultra – 12 and 6 Hour Edition

The Challenge

4 miles every hour, on the hour, for 12 hours. or 6 Hours

That's 48 miles /(77.2 km) or 2 miles ( 39km ) if you complete every loop. How far can you go? 💪

The Backyard Ultra is for everyone, whatever your experience. Push your limits, run your own race, and see how many laps you can complete.

How It Works

🏃 1 route, 1 loop, every hour

⏰ Start each loop on the hour

✅ Complete as many loops as you can

🥇 The first male and female runners to complete Loop 12 are crowned the winners

Your race ends if you:

❌ Don't finish a loop within the hour

❌ Don't start the next loop on the hour

❌ Use a pacer (no pacers allowed)

It isn't meant to be easy... but it is meant to be fun! 🙌
