Organiser's Description
This event has something for everyone!We offer 3 race options that allow everyone something to build towards6hr continuous12hr continuous24hr Backyard UltraThe 6hr, and 12hr are great events to get a taste of what we offer. These events are run continuously. From the sound of the cow bell, 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 cow bell 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. 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 there are no refunds for our events. We do allow for deferrals into another of our events but this must be done 4 weeks prior to your registered event.
