The Kansas City Backyard Ultra invites participants to run 4.00 miles within an hour and repeat this until only one runner remains. Set in the picturesque Mill Creek Park, near the J.C. Nichols Memorial Fountain, the course features four one-mile laps on a smooth, paved trail, making navigation straightforward and enjoyable. This no-frills event emphasizes fun and personal challenge, allowing entrants to test their endurance over 3, 6, 9, or up to 12 hours. A well-stocked aid station is conveniently located at each mile, ensuring that runners have the support they need to push their limits.
