Flag City Backyard Ultra

Findlay, United States • 4 Oct 2025

The Flag City Backyard Ultra is a unique, free last-man-standing running event held at Findlay Reservoir in Findlay, Ohio. Participants run a 4.3-mile loop around the reservoir every hour, starting at the top of each hour, continuing until only one runner remains. The course is flat with no elevation gain, mud, or roots, ensuring a straightforward loop with no risk of getting lost or cutting corners.

The race is self-supported, with no food or drink provided, so runners must come prepared, including bringing a headlamp. Camping is allowed the night before, and parking is available near the reservoir. The event emphasizes endurance and strategy in a supportive atmosphere.
