Kansas City Backyard Ultra

The Kansas City Backyard Ultra is a unique running event held at Mill Creek Park, where participants aim to complete 4.16667 miles every hour until only one runner remains. This "Last Runner Standing" format challenges competitors to maintain their pace over multiple loops, with strict rules governing aid and course conduct. The event also features shorter timed races of 3, 6, 9, and 12 hours, allowing runners to test their limits in a supportive environment.

Participants receive various swag items, and the overall winner earns a spot in the Queeny Backyard Ultra, a qualifying race for the World Backyard Championships. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
