Somba K'e Backyard Ultra

The Territory's first 24hr Backyard Ultra, held at the Yellowknife Ski Club.**UPDATE** Thank you for everyone who has already signed up to volunteer. We are working to assign roles and volunteer stations based on our need. We currently have an excess of volunteers and will be contacting individuals based on a first come first served basis and have currently disabled any additional volunteer registrations at this time. Thank you for everyone's interest!The course is a 6.7km loop that begins at the start of every hour, needs to be completed in under an hour, and participants must be lined up to begin the next lap when the next hour begins. A horn/bell/cowbell/whistle will mark the start of a fresh hour and lap. All runners must be in the starting coral when the next lap begins. The race continues until there is only one person left, who has completed the last lap alone, or 24hr has expired.For example: if at hour 20, 2 people complete the lap successfully, and at the start of hour 21, one participants drops out but the other begins the lap, that participant must complete the entirety of the lap, or they will also be considered a DNF. If that participant completes the lap in under an hour, they will be the last person standing.The first lap will start at 8AM sharp on Sept 27th 2025.Proposed Course:Google Earth Link: https://earth.google.com/earth/d/1fWL3Y4hh98a9q-bpDOqA0sTJrg0M_Nk6?usp=sharing
