Dimple Dell Blitz Backyard
The event uses a 4.167 mile loop inside Dimple Dell Regional Park that is mostly woodchipped. The loop is designed to remain runnable in rain or snow and offers views of the snow covered Wasatch Mountains. The start and finish are at the Wrangler Trailhead.
The format is a Backyard Ultra run on a one hour loop. Runners repeat the loop once every hour for a chosen duration. Placement uses the Blitz variation which times each distance's final loop to determine finishing order.
Options offered
- 4 hour Blitz Backyard
- 8 hour Blitz Backyard
- 12 hour Blitz Backyard
Amenities include course marking with pink flags, cones, and signs; a well stocked finish area with snacks; Tailwind electrolyte drink; and locally made finisher medals for runners who complete at least one loop. At the conclusion of the 4 hour option there is pumpkin chocolate chip bread and at the conclusion of the 8 hour and 12 hour options pizza is provided. Free photos will be taken on course and at the finish and hosted online with bib recognition and no watermark.
Logistics notes: parking is free with runners asked to use paved stalls across the street so the trailhead remains available for finish area setup. Each distance is capped to reduce trail congestion. Rules require starting each loop on the hour, completing the loop within the hour to receive credit, and no artificial aid or pacers on course.
