Join us for an exhilarating Backyard Ultra set in the scenic landscapes of rural Nevada, where participants will face the ultimate physical and mental test. The race features a 4.1667-mile loop that runners must complete every hour, challenging their endurance and strategy. If you finish within the hour, you're free to tackle the next loop; fail to complete it, and you’re out of the race. This event is affiliated with the esteemed Backyard Ultra Series, known for its grueling challenges, and serves as a bronze ticket event toward the prestigious Big's Backyard Ultra. The race will take place within Cathedral Gorge State Park, providing stunning views, rich history, and a vibrant community atmosphere. Runners will navigate two courses; a daytime loop that consists of 25% pavement and 75% trail with around 295 feet of elevation gain, and a nighttime loop that is predominantly paved (95%) with a modest elevation of about 117 feet. The setup includes amenities for support and comfort, such as restrooms, showers, and designated pavilions for relaxation and aid stations. Brace yourself for a unique and fun experience as you push your limits in this captivating environment!
