Event information

The last runner turns off the light!
Backyard Ultra is a very popular ultrarunning mode worldwide. Not the fastest runners win, but those who can enjoy the event the longest. Last Wo(man) Standing.
Only the last person on the course wins. Everyone else gets a DNF!
The original Big Dog's Backyard Ultra is always held in October in Tennessee, USA and is very popular in the ultra running scene.

What is a Backyard Ultra?

A lap of 6.706 kilometers (= 4.167 miles) is run. 24 laps are equal to 100 miles.
Every hour all runners start a new lap. If you do not finish the lap in time and are back at the start, you are out! No late start! Very easy!
Start signal is at 3, 2 or 1 minute before the start. You will learn to hate the signal.
How you do the 6.7 km is up to you, as long as you use your own strength to get around on your legs and hands. No aids are allowed (including trekking poles)!
No personal assistance or support on the course.
Slower runners must let faster runners pass.
Leaving the course is prohibited.
Mandatory equipment: a headlamp at night
The race ends only when there is no runner left on the track. => open end
If the runner-up is eliminated, the winner must have completed one more full lap. All other runners have a "DNF".

DNF of the runners: If you are more drawn to the catering instead of the start line, you must sign out independently at the organisation, hand in your timing chip and receive your own personal DNF medal.
