Dimple Dell Blitz Backyard
The Dimple Dell Blitz Backyard takes place at Dimple Dell Regional Park, using a 4.167 mile loop that is mostly woodchipped. The course is designed to remain runnable in rain or snow and offers views of the snow covered Wasatch Mountains. The event is offered in three timed formats: four hour, eight hour, and twelve hour Blitzy Backyard races. Placement is based first on loops completed and then on cumulative time across completed laps because each lap is timed.
All runners who complete at least one loop receive a finisher medal. Top three male and female places are determined by distance completed and, when distances tie, by total lap time. Live timing and individual lap times are provided throughout the race. Free photos will be taken on course and at the finish line and provided without a watermark.
The course is marked with pink flags, cones, and signs. The finish area provides a well stocked finish line with snacks and electrolytes, locally made finisher medals, and a race shirt. Food provisions include Great Harvest Bread at the conclusion of the four hour event and pizza at the conclusion of the eight and twelve hour events. Parking is free with paved stalls across the street from the Wrangler Trailhead. Capacity for each duration is capped at 60 runners to limit trail congestion.
