Runners must complete a flat loop of 6.706 km every hour, on the hour. Each loop must be finished within 60 minutes. Any remaining time after completing a loop can be used to rest, eat, change gear, or recover. For example, if you finish a loop in 45 minutes, you have 15 minutes before the next loop begins, and you must be ready to start exactly on the hour.
The race continues until only two runners remain. From there, it's a head-to-head battle. One runner will eventually fail to complete a loop within the hour or choose to stop, at which point the other runner, provided he or she completes the final loop within the time limit, is declared the winner. The runner-up is known as The Assist.
All other participants in the Backyard Ultra receive a DNF (Did Not Finish) medal or gift; a nod to the brutal nature of the event.
For this 2nd edition of The Loop Backyard Ultra at Domaine de Labourdonnais, we target on having a same loop for day and night, in the sugar cane fields and tracks on the Domaine. The format will allow runners to keep the ‘trail-kind’ experience.
