Endure Better Backyard Ultra is a running race on February 20–22, 2027 in Lakeland, FL.
Thanks for checking out my Fundraising page! This race is a Backyard Ultra Marathon. A unique race style that has runners starting a 4.167 mile loop at the top of the hour! Finish the loop within the hour, fuel up, rest up and be prepared to start again at the top of the next hour! This continues for as many hours as it needs to until just 1 runner stands! Any runner who can’t finish the loop within the hour or refuse to start the next loop at the top of the hour is out! These races have been known to go for days and many “yards” as the loops are called!
