The Summit Backyard Ultra is a backyard ultra that was previously hosted by Pursue Your Summit LLC. This is the first year that it will be operating under Perspective Pacing. The Summit LMS is a run under the backyard ultra format in which you must complete 4.17 miles within the hour on the hour until there is only one person left. The last person to complete a lap will be crowned the winner.
While every racer will get some cool swag, October 30th is the deadline to get a shirt.
