Furbutt's 24-hour Backyard Ultra

Furbutt's 24-hour Backyard Ultra is modeled off of the Capital Backyard Ultra. The backyard format is based on Lazarus Lake’s Backyard runs. Runners have one hour to complete the 4.167-mile course. Runners must be in the corral at the top of the next hour ready to start the next loop, or they’re out.

In addition to being a challenging run, Furbutt's 24-hour Backyard is also a great way to experience the backyard format. This is an excellent opportunity to run your first marathon, 50K, 50-mile, or 100-mile run because the backyard format forces you to rest early and often, which can help you run a longer distance than you thought possible. It is also a great way to meet other runners and build community since you’ll be sharing the same loop each hour and in close proximity at the one and only aid station.

Whether you are a seasoned ultrarunner or a beginner, Furbutt's 24-hour Backyard Ultra is a great way to test your limits and see how far you can push yourself.
