Description:

*August 3rd is just a place holder, but will be sometime in August

After being inspired by Noah MacDonald's PSP ultramarathon trip I have decided to host a new variation of this trip in the form of a backyard ultra. What is a backyard ultra? A backyard ultra is an event where every hour on the hour runners set out on a 4.1 - 4.2 mile course. You are removed from the race if you fail to complete the lap within an hour or do not start the race on time (no late starts). This event will go on until only one person has completed a lap, or we all get tired and want to go home. While it is called an ultra there is zero pressure to run an ultra distance, run for as many laps as you want or just come watch! 

If you have any question let me know :)
