Backyard Sandefjord is an exciting running challenge where participants will run a slightly hilly loop of about 6.7 km every full hour, with a total distance of 80.4 km upon completing all 12 loops. Participants who are unable to start the next loop will be eliminated and referred to the "after run venue" to cheer on the remaining runners. The last runner who can start wins, but there is a maximum limit of 12 loops, so if multiple participants are still in the last loop, the first one to cross the finish line will be declared the winner. The event focuses on strategy and a low threshold for participation, allowing for both serious runners and those looking for a social experience.
Highlights
- Anyone who is unable to start the next lap every full hour is eliminated and referred to the "after run area" to cheer on the remaining participants.
- It's important to plan a smart race; if you run fast, you can enjoy a break in a warm venue before the next start, while a more relaxed strategy conserves energy.
- We are planning for it to be a social event with a low entry threshold, where you can participate to run a lap, complete more laps than your neighbor, or steel yourself for victory.
