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 each individual whether they want to run 1, 2, or all 12 laps, thus finishing at 50 miles or 80 km. Each lap starts on the hour, so it's important to find the right strategy. The faster you run, the longer break you get between laps, and Sandnes Arena serves as a break room where participants can warm up and discuss the race.

Highlights

  • Sandnes Backyard is intended as a social low-threshold race.
