The unique format of the backyard ultra means runners have one hour to complete each loop throughout the event. Each hour includes a start, finish and whatever rest and refresh time the runners can achieve at their aid stations. If a runner fails to complete the loop within the allotted hour, they receive a “did not finish” (DNF) designation and are eliminated from the race.
