This Backyard Ultra features a straightforward 4.167-mile loop, where runners finish in under an hour to begin another lap at the top of each hour. The challenge continues until only one participant remains, who must complete an additional hour to claim victory. With a course elevation gain of only 140 feet, the route is primarily an out-and-back consisting of 0.5 miles on an asphalt track, 0.75 miles along smooth dirt roads, and 2.9 miles on the wide gravel path of the Uncompahgre River Walk. For many, this event serves as a great chance to achieve a personal distance record, while strong competitors could qualify for the renowned Tennessee race, depending on results in affiliate events. The course's minimal elevation and varied surfaces make it accessible yet engaging for runners looking to push their limits.
