MetroWest Backyard Ultra
Get ready for an unforgettable day of running, camaraderie, and challenge as you take on our exciting 4.167-mile loop in the unique Backyard format. The race will test your endurance and determination as you tackle loop after loop until only one runner remains standing!
We are encouraging all runners who have never done a Backyard Ultra to run 1 or 2 or even 3 loops just to dip your toe into this format. As they says...."Just Do it" !
Race info:
Just like last year, we will be starting at 8:00 am and the format is the same.... every top of the hour we line up and run a 4.167-mile loop within the Needham town forest and part of the Needham Rail Trail. There will be one winner and everyone else wonderfully will receive a DNF. The winner - and only true finisher - is the last person running by themself.
Race Start: 8:00 am Sharp
We are expecting around 85 people to attend and try their hand at this incredible race format. All the runners had a great time last year and we would like to replicate it for Sept 28th. Veteran Ultra runners and newbies are all welcomed.
Race Fee: $25
