Bakgarður Heiðmörk
Iceland Backyard Ultra

Will be held for the fifth time on Saturday, September 21, 2024. Registration opens this spring. The race will be a traditional backyard run and will follow a specific set up and rules (https://backyardultra.com/rules/). The race will be a 6.7km loop every hour. The one who runs the most laps is the only one who finishes the race and emerges as the winner. To complete the race, the person must complete the last lap alone. All laps will be started at full time and it is important to get on the grid in time for each lap.https://backyardultra.com/rules/). Hlaupin verður 6,7km hringur á hverjum klukkutíma. Sá sem hleypur flesta hringi er sá eini sem klárar hlaupið og stendur uppi sem sigurvegari. Til að klára hlaupið verður viðkomandi að klára síðasta hringinn einn. Allir hringir verða ræstir á heila tímanum og er mikilvægt að koma sér á ráslínu tímanlega fyrir hvern hring.

Iceland Backyard Ultra
How does a Backyard work?

The competition will be in the traditional format of the backyard and depends on a certain installation and rules (http://backyardultra.com/rules/ ). The race is over 6.7km ring per hour. The one who runs most circles is the only one who finishes the race and stands as a winner. To finish the race, they must finish the last lap one alone. Each ring always starts with the whole time and it is important that competitors are in the channel and running when the bell rings over time. Runners who are not in the channel in the whole time when the ring is started are judged from the competition. After each circle, the time left of the hour can be used to rest and prepare for the next lap. The total distance runner that finishes 24 laps (24 hours) is 100 miles (160.8km).
