Question 1

What is the Backyard Ultra format?

Accepted Answer

The Backyard Ultra is a fixed-distance, loop-based endurance event where runners complete a 4.167-mile (6.7 km) loop every hour on the hour. Each hour starts with a whistle; you must be in the start corral and complete the loop within the hour to continue. The last runner standing wins.

Question 2

What is included in my entry?

Accepted Answer

Entry includes access to the course, on-course water points, use of the event facilities (toilets, lighting), and post-event recovery in the tipi village. Check the event page for the current what’s-included list.

Question 3

Is there accommodation and camping?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Limited on-site accommodation is available and camping/bases are permitted. Book early as spaces are limited.

Question 4

What are the rules around pacers and support?

Accepted Answer

No pacers or non-competitors are allowed on the course. All runners must be self-sufficient: navigate your own 6.7 km loop each hour and manage hydration, nutrition, and pacing independently.

Question 5

What happens if I’m late to the start or miss an hour?

Accepted Answer

Late arrivals = disqualification. You must be in the start pen before the whistle; failing to complete a loop within the hour results in elimination.

Question 6

What is the cancellation and refund policy?

Accepted Answer

More than 60 days before event: cancel for a refund of 90% of the ticket price (10% processing fee). 60 days or less: no refunds, but you receive 100% credit toward a future DNF event (valid 24 months). 7 days or less: no refund or credit.
