Backyard Stavanger is a backyard ultra that takes place in late September each year, with laps of approximately 6.7 km run every full hour. Participants must be ready to start the next lap within the next hour to continue, and a maximum of 12 laps is set, equating to 80.4 km. The last runner who can start wins, but if multiple participants are still on the last lap, the fastest to finish is declared the winner. The course is partly gravel and partly asphalt, and it is important to be prepared for changing weather conditions.

Highlights

  • A slightly hilly loop of about 6.7 km will be run every full hour (80.4 km completed over all 12 laps).
  • The last runner who can start wins, but there is a maximum of 12 laps set, so if there are more participants left on the final lap, the first participant to finish will be declared the winner of Backyard Stavanger.
  • The course of 6.7 km takes place on partially gravel and partially asphalt, and one should dress appropriately and be prepared for changing weather.
