Ohio's Backyard Ultra
The first ever Ohio Backyard Ultra took place in 2019, and will be back for a 2nd year in 2020.
With the urging of Gary Cantrell, aka Lazarus Lake, aka Laz, who started the original Big Dog’s Backyard Ultra and the Barkley Marathons, more races of this layout are being started. This is one of them.
So in likewise fashion, the Ohio Backyard Ultra will follow as closely to Laz’s original format as possible.
The concept is simple. It’s a “Last Man Standing Race” and in the end, just one runner will finish the race.
At 0730 hours on Saturday, March 21st, 2019 we will start a race at McChesney Ridge on a course measured at 4.1667 miles. The time limit for this race is one hour.
Again at 0830 hours, we will begin another race around the same 4.1667 mile trail.
The same will be done at 0930, 1030, 1130, and so on, every hour.
