Cyprus Backyard Ultra 2024
On Saturday, March 23, 2024, at 09:00am in Voroklini, Larnaca, it will take place the inaugural “Cyprus Backyard Ultra,” adhering to all regulations of Backyard Ultra races.
This running challenge entails completing a 6,706-meter or 4.167-mile loop within one hour, repeated hourly. It’s a test of endurance rather than speed, requiring strategic pacing and fueling.
Runners who fail to complete the loop in time, reach the starting corral for the next lap, or choose to drop out surrender their bib numbers [DNF].
Those finishing early can use the remaining time as desired [rest, replenishment, etc.] until the next cycle begins, with each hour signaling a new start for timely finishers.
The race continues until a single runner remains, crowned the ultimate victor.
Embrace the challenge and surpass your limits… for another lap!
