Kansas City Backyard Ultra
The premise is quite simple. Can you run 4.00 miles in ONE hour? And do it again and again and again.... until you are the LAST RUNNER STANDING!
Kansas City Backyard Ultra is affiliated with the Backyard Ultra Series! www.backyardultra.com
What a perfect Backyard Ultra location setting - the beautiful Mill Creek Park on the Country Club Plaza. Start/finish by the J.C. Nichols Memorial Fountain.
The course will consist of 4 – 1 Mile laps on the Mill Creek Park Trail (4 laps = 1 loop). The trail is paved making it easy to stay on course.
A no frills, just fun, timed running event! Come see how far you can run in 3 hours, 6 hours, 9 hours or 12 hours. What a great way to challenge yourself, use this as a supported long run for upcoming fall race, or just an excuse to run with friends. The course will have one primary, abundantly stocked aid station every mile lap. This race will coincide with the Last Runner Standing event so please be trail courteous.
