Organiser's description
Come on out for the 4th annual Keji's Backyard Ultra...Registration opens at 12:00pm (local time) on Saturday June 15, 2024
New for 2025:*the winner will receive $2000!*the assist will receive $1000!*top female will receive $500...and when a female wins (or assists), she'll get the above amounts too of course! *t-shirts will also be offered (they'll be optional though)*the refund policy has also been relaxed a bit, but nothing is perfect
Please take a look at the carbon calculator on the Tree Canada website and consider trying to offset your emissions to our event by planting a tree! https://treecanada.ca/carbon-calculator/ This is how it works: starting at 9am, everyone has 1 hour to complete the 6.67k out-and-back course. If you finish before 10am, you get to sit, socialize, and rest until the next loop starts at 10am. This continues every hour until only one runner can complete the loop under 1 hour. If you are over 1 hour for a loop, your race is done. This format is a super fun way to log big mileage with great people on a beautiful and easy gravel trail. *Registration/Start/Finish location is at the Jim Charles Point parking lot. 1. 75% refund up to March 1st, 2025 and 50% refund up to May 15th, 2025. 2.
