Backyard
Ultra

A loop race with no finish line. You cover one 6.706 km loop every hour, on the hour, and get your rest in between — as long as you're back in the start zone before the next loop begins. Keep answering the bell and keep outlasting everyone else.

6.706 km — 4.167 miles. The exact distance that adds up to 100 miles in 24 hours.

16.04.27 at 10:00 local time in Pécs, Hungary. The first loop is the start line: be in the start zone before the bell rings or you're not in the race.

You have to finish it inside the hour — how you do it is up to you. Walking is part of the format and almost everyone does it, usually from the small hours onwards. What counts is being back before the next loop starts.

Then your race is over. No warnings, no second chances — miss the bell and you're out. That's also how you withdraw: simply don't answer it. Tell a race crew member on your way out so we can mark you down.

When only one runner is left standing. Some people last six hours, some last thirty. The loops keep coming all through the night, dark or not, until there's one name still on the sheet.

Shoes you'd happily wear for two days, a head torch for the night loops, spare socks, food you'll actually eat, and something to lie on if you plan to stay. The full list and the loop map follow by email.

25 euros. One flat fee, no tiers, no extras — that covers your spot on the start list and everything the race needs to keep the bell ringing hour after hour. Your spot is only held once the fee is paid — pay within 48 hours of signing up or the next runner takes it. paypal.com/paypalme/AudunFladvad
