Flag City Backyard Ultra
The Flag City Backyard Ultra takes place October 2, 2027 in Findlay, OH at the east side of Findlay Reservoir. The event is a Backyard Ultra Bronze Ticket race presented by Flag City Backyard Ultra LLC.
Runners complete a single loop of 4.3 mile each hour, on the hour, until only one runner completes a loop alone. A whistle is blown at three, two, and one minutes before each loop start. The winner is the last person to complete a loop; all others are recorded as DNF. If no runner completes one more loop than everyone else, there is no winner.
The course is described as having zero elevation gain, zero mud, and zero roots. The race is self supported; no food, drink, or supplies are provided during the race. Competitors are responsible for their own supplies and should pack a headlamp and be ready for changing conditions. No personal aid is allowed during a loop except common aid stations, and no artificial aids including trekking poles are permitted.
Professional timing and live coverage are provided, with both an ankle tag and a bib tag used for tracking. Live results will be available online and the event will be streamed. Parking is on the grass at the base of the reservoir; vehicles may drive to the top only for drop off. Camping is allowed the night before with porta johns on site and no running water. All entry fees are non refundable and non transferable; remaining funds after expenses will be donated. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
