RULES - HOW DOES IT WORK?
Backyard Race Edition - A competition concept where runners run a 6.7 km loop starting every full hour. You remain in the competition as long as you make it around the loop within 60 minutes, and the person who runs the most laps wins. You must not skip a lap or be late to the start of the next lap, then you will be out. If we have more people who complete the same number of laps, it is the time on the last lap that determines the placing.
We will have no chip timing or individual timing for each laps, just an official clock running along the day.
Backyard Collector Edition - Less rules, do it on your own terms. You can start every hour and collect as many laps as you want during the day. You choose your starting hour, and you are free to skip a lap, take a break, get some extra energy and collect as many loops as you want. The only requirement is that a lap must not take longer than one hour. Use the vibe to break a new PR or just get a good training session. We want as many runners as possibly at the end of the day to get some great vibe and ending with a well deserved burger & beer at the Ski Lodge terrace.
Backyard Team Edition - Share the challenge with a partner! In the Team Edition, you and your teammate take turns running every other loop. One runs, one rests – then switch, and see how many loops you can complete as a team throughout the day.
