Description
Perhaps the world's most beautiful Backyard Ultra? The course that contains the most, beautiful beaches, tractor roads, rock, asphalt roads and mountains.
The concept behind the "Backyard" race involves running a lap of 6.7 km, or 4.167 miles, every hour. Randaberg Backyard is designed as a social and inclusive race, where the participants themselves decide how many of the 12 laps they want to run, with the option of completing 50 miles / 80 km.
Each lap starts every full hour, and it is therefore important to develop a strategy that suits one's own pace. The faster you run, the longer the break you get between laps. Between races, Friluftslivet's house acts as a break room where participants can relax and discuss the race with each other. This gives a social and supportive atmosphere to the event.
