  • Summary

  • I had my first crack at the Backyard Ultra format over Memorial Day weekend at the Capital Backyard in Lorton VA!

    It was an incredible experience on so many levels and, if you're considering this format and on the east coast, you will NOT be disappointed! Sarah Smith, the RD, does an amazing job on this one on every single level. The food at the start/finish in the best I've ever had at a race and the overall energy is stuck in the clouds every single time you finish a yard!

    The format is simple. Run a 4.167 loop (yard) at the start every hour, on the hour and run until you can't continue or just decide to quit. Roughly 60 runners lined up for this one and the winner ultimately ran nearly three days to get the win!

    While the format sounds straightforward, it was an eye-opener to me on many levels!

    With all that said, I wanted to share all my mistakes and save you some time from making the same ones I did.

    This episode is all about the Capital Backyard!
