Backyard ultra

Rare card · No. 20279

The backyard ultra or last one standing is a form of ultramarathon race where competitors must consecutively run the distance of 6.706 kilometres (4.167 mi) in less than one hour. Each loop, commonly referred to as a "Yard", is 100⁄24 miles, so in 24 hours, a competitor would run 100 miles. They must repeat this every hour until only one person completes a full lap – the last one standing. The backyard ultra format has gained a reputation for its grueling and unpredictable nature, as well as the camaraderie among participants. Challenges include sleep deprivation, exhaustion, and varying weather conditions.
