The Backyard Ultra race is classified as unsupported. This means that, apart from water and refreshments available at the start and finish line, no additional support will be provided along the course. Runners are strongly encouraged to organize their own support teams to assist with hydration, nutrition, and any other needs they may have during the race. Preparing for self-sufficiency is crucial to ensure a safe and successful experience for all participants.
