Winona Forest Backyard Ultra
This event is a Backyard Ultra held at the CCC Camp in Winona State Forest near Mannsville, NY. The format uses a repeated loop of 4.167 miles that must be completed within each hour; a new loop begins on the hour and runners must be in the starting corral to begin the next loop. If a runner does not finish the loop within the hour or is not back in the corral at the start of the next hour, that runner is eliminated.
Race headquarters includes the start/finish area, a fully stocked aid station, portajohns, parking, timing tent, and space for pop up tents and personal setups. Personal gear and tents may be set up on a first come first served basis; power outlets are not available. Crews are allowed but pacers are prohibited. Once on the course, runners may not receive aid from crew or non-competitors and may only use the common aid station located near the staging area. Competitors who stop must check out with the race director.
Participant milestones are tracked and recognized in results and with stickers or magnets. Example milestones include completing 1 lap; 4 laps (beyond a half marathon); 7 laps (beyond a marathon); 8 laps (beyond 50K); 12 laps (50 miles); and 24 laps (100 miles). The event supplies a custom bib, a commemorative koozie, food for runners and crew, 24 hour emergency support, and a safe, well marked course. Shirt orders require registration by August 7 and registration closes August 19. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
