Iceland Backyard Ultra
The Iceland Backyard Ultra (Bakgarður Náttúruhlaupa) will take place September 17th 2022. The Iceland Backyard Ultra follows the conventional rules of Backyard Ultras: (http://backyardultra.com/rules/). A new loop of 6.7 km starts every hour on the hour. It's crucial that all who intend to continue with the next loop are at the starting line when the final bell rings. The participant that runs most loops and finishes the last loop by himself, is the winner. Everybody else gets a DNF!
This race is not about speed. The emphasis is on enjoying the nature and the company. There will be a unique atmosphere after each loop. The last person to leave the party wins 😀
Backyards are a special kind of ultra runs where participants need to finish running 6706 meters (4,167 miles) within the hour. Each loop starts at the hour and after the runners finish a loop they can use the remaining time to rest and prepare for the next loop. The winner is the last person to complete a loop. If no runner can complete one more loop than anyone else, there is no winner. The total distance for a runner that finishes 24 loops (24 hours) is 100 miles (160.8 km).

Spurningar og svör
Götuhlaupaskór duga í mörgum tilfellum en við mælum með því að fólk fjárfesti í náttúruhlaupaskóm (trail skór eða utanvegaskór). Náttúruhlaupaskór eru hannaðir til að veita góða vörn fyrir fæturna og grípa betur á t.d. blautum steinum, í drullu eða í lausamöl. Í slíkum tilfellum eru þeir nauðsynlegur öryggisbúnaður.
