Race description

All information on this page is based on open source data. We do our best to keep it updated but cannot guarantee that everything is correct. If you see any inaccuracies, contact us and we will correct it as soon as possible.

The Backyard concept involves running a loop of 6.7 km, or 4.167 miles, every hour. Sandnes Backyard is intended as a social, low-threshold race, and it is entirely up to the individual whether they want to run 1, 2, or all 12 loops, thereby finishing at 50 miles or 80 km. Each loop starts at the top of the hour, so it's about finding the right strategy. The faster you run, the longer break you get between loops, and Sandnes Arena serves as a break room where you can warm up and discuss the progress of the race with other participants.
