Big D’s Backyard Ultra and Trail Race

This is a backyard ultra. We will offer a 7km X-C course that needs to be completed every hour. At the start of every hour a legendary gong will be drummed. This will signal the start of a fresh hour and lap. Those who have not completed their lap unfortunately this will mark the end of the journey. This will allow athletes to continue to strive towards completing the race and course.

Whether you’re running in the 6hr, 12hr, or 24hr event you need to complete your lap before the end of the 1hr time limit. If unable to, your race is over but you can try again next year. You can’t start before the drumming of the gong until the top of every hour even if you finish your lap in 40 minutes. You must wait until the start of a fresh hour before starting up again.

Those who survive into the final hour the lap becomes a race and the first to finish is the winner of the event.
