Coz's Backyard Ultra

Coz's Backyard Ultra

Coz's Backyard Ultra is a Backyard Ultra format running event at the Trenton Fish and Game Club in Holland Patent, NY. Runners complete the same loop once every hour; participants who do not return to the start corral before the hourly start are out. The event uses a 30 hour standard limit and continues until only one runner finishes a lap within the hour.

The loop is a 3 1/3 mile trail course with about 200 feet of elevation gain per lap. The course runs on non technical hiking and ski trails through pines and open hardwoods, mostly rolling double track with an out and back dirt road section.

Event procedures include timed whistle signals before each hourly start and rules that require runners to stay on course once the start whistle sounds. Each runner has a personal 12' x 12' area near the start and finish for gear and crew access. Crews are permitted. Runners must carry or wear a headlamp with backup lighting between sunset and sunrise. Poles are allowed. Race directors may pause the event for inclement weather and may remove a runner for safety concerns.

Simple aid items such as water, electrolyte drink, fruit, candy, chips, pickles, coffee and pizza will be available. A communal aid table is provided for shared food. Milestone patches are awarded for these distances
