Elsa Chicken Plucker Backyard Ultra

The Elsa Chicken Plucker Backyard Ultra is an official Backyard Ultra event held in Charleston, IL. Participants will run a 4.167-mile loop every hour, continuing until only one runner remains.

Each runner is allowed one designated assistant for support within the corral. Mandatory night reflection gear, including a light and reflective vest, is required for safety.
