NorCal Backyard Ultra
The event takes place at Beals Point on Folsom Lake in Granite Bay, California. Runners complete a measured loop on trail terrain; each lap is 4.16 Miles with about 310 ft of elevation gain.
The main format is a Last Person Standing race. At the top of each hour, participants must start the next lap and finish the previous lap. Failing to show at the start of an hourly lap results in disqualification for that runner. The Last Person Standing race continues until only one runner remains. A separate Mini Last Person Standing follows the same hourly format but has a 12 hour time limit for all participants.
Distances for each event:
- Last Person Standing - 4.16 Miles, 310 ft elevation gain
- Mini Last Person Standing - 4.16 Miles, 310 ft elevation gain
There is a single aid station at the start and finish area under a tent that provides water, hydration mix, light snacks, and warm food. There are no aid stations along the course and receiving aid on course from crew is not allowed. Participants are encouraged to bring their own aid supplies and set up near the start and finish between laps.
All finishers receive a NorCal Backyard Ultra hoodie and a custom wood award based on miles run. The top finisher receives a custom wood plaque. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
