UNFINISHED Series - Run. Recover. Repeat.

UNFINISHED is a Backyard Ultra event held at Woodbine Beach Park in Toronto. The event is built around a 6.71 km loop called a Yard. Completing a Yard within the hour earns the right to start the next one; the time between loops serves as each runner's recovery window for rest, refuelling, hydration, and gear adjustments.

Three participation formats are available. The Backyard Ultra (elimination) requires one Yard every hour to remain in the event. The Endurance Challenge provides a 15-hour open window with no elimination, allowing skipped loops, breaks, or relay team participation. The Sunshine Yard is a single community Yard run along the waterfront trails, open to all fitness levels and run at participants' own pace.

After 14 Yards, remaining runners line up for the Omega Lap, a final loop raced for the fastest time. The event is limited to 15 Yards. The course follows waterfront boardwalks and trails. Transit access includes the TTC 501 Queen streetcar and several nearby paid parking lots, including the Woodbine Beach lot.

Organizers work with partners and state that each completed Yard contributes to partner organizations. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
