Winona Forest Backyard Ultra

Winona Forest Backyard Ultra

Winona Forest Backyard Ultra is a Backyard Ultra event held at the CCC Camp in Winona State Forest near Mannsville, NY, about 6 miles from Interstate 81. The course is a loop of 4.167 mile that repeats every hour. Each hour a new loop begins and runners must complete the loop and be in the starting corral to begin the next loop; failure to return and line up results in elimination. Runners continue until one runner completes the final loop.

Race headquarters and the start/finish area include a fully stocked aid station, porta johns, parking, picnic tables, and space for individual setups and pop up tents. Power outlets are not available. Personal crew is allowed but pacers and other non competitors are not permitted on the course. Once on the course runners may not receive aid from crew and eliminated runners may not be on the course except to use restrooms. No artificial aids including trekking poles are allowed.

The event provides participant items and services including a Winona Forest Backyard Ultra T shirt for those registered by August 7, a custom bib, food for runners and crew, a commemorative tumbler, milestone stickers and a DNF magnet, 24 hour emergency support, and a safe, well marked course.
