Ruosniemen Backyard Ultra

Description

Ruosniemi Backyard Ultra!

The idea of the race is simple: we run a 6.706 km lap until there is only one runner left. Each lap always starts on the hour, and the runner stays in the race as long as they make it in time for the next lap.

Time: start at 09:00

Location: Ruosniemi fitness track / ski resort

Address: Myyrynkuja, 28220 Pori

Route

The route runs along the fitness track next to the Ruosniemi ski resort. A route, a "sub-lap", has been found on the track, which is 2236 meters long. These three sub-laps, whose total distance is the required 6706 meters, must be completed in less than an hour. If you do not finish by the deadline, the race is DNF for you or ESJM in Finnish 🙂

Every hour on the hour, the race restarts and those remaining in the race set off again. This is not a speed race but an endurance race, as the race continues until the last one completes one more full distance, 6706 meters more than anyone else.

The route is very demanding. Each 2236 meter sub-loop has 3 small hills. This amounts to 165 meters of ascent per hour. In the 24h Ultra, the ascent meters are already over 4000m! The route is a running fitness track. The surface is stone ash, sawdust and a path. There are a few rocks and roots in places on the climbs, but not more than five centimeters above the ground. At night you will need a headlamp.
