Flag City Backyard Ultra

Flag City Backyard Ultra : Findlay, OH

Flag City Backyard Ultra is a last person standing race held at Findlay Reservoir (East Side) in Findlay, Ohio. The event is a Backyard Ultra Bronze Ticket event; the winner earns a Bronze Ticket invitation opportunity.

Runners must complete a 4.3 mile loop each hour. Each loop must be completed within an hour to be counted. The race continues until only one runner completes a loop alone; all other participants are recorded as DNF if they do not outlast the final finisher.

The course is described as having zero elevation gain, no mud, and no roots. It is a simple loop with no shortcuts and no route ambiguity. The race is self supported: no food, drink, or supplies are provided during the event, and competitors should bring their own provisions and a headlamp.

Event logistics include a high quality technical shirt for all entrants, professional timing and live coverage with ankle and bib tags for tracking, and online live results and streaming. Parking is available on the grass at the base of the reservoir; vehicles may drive to the top only for drop off and may not remain there. Camping is permitted the night before with porta johns on site but no running water. Entry fees are non refundable and non transferable; after expenses remaining funds will be donated to Habitat for Humanity. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
