Laps For Love Backyard Ultra

Laps For Love Backyard Ultra : Wichita, KS

The Laps For Love Backyard Ultra is a community-focused endurance event held at Sedgwick County Park near the Plum Shelter area in Wichita. The event donates one hundred dollars from every registration to Family Promise of Greater Wichita to support families with children experiencing homelessness.

This event follows the Backyard Ultra format. Runners repeat a loop of 4.167 miles; a new loop begins each hour and runners must complete the loop within that hour to continue. Any remaining time between loops may be used to rest, refuel, use the restroom, and reset. If a runner fails to start the next loop on time they are eliminated. There is no preset distance or time limit; the race continues until only one runner remains.

The course uses a paved path with minimal elevation change, making it runnable while fatigue accumulates. Course maps and final details will be shared closer to race weekend, and registered runners may have an opportunity to preview course options in advance.

Runners are expected to bring their own nutrition and supplies. Crews are welcome at the start and finish area and may bring tents, chairs, and gear; pacers are not allowed. A main aid station at the start and finish will offer water, electrolytes, Ultraverse Supplements Proxima C, simple hot food as the event progresses, and other items while supplies last.

Kansas weather can be variable; there are no refunds or deferrals for this charity event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
