Winona Forest Backyard Ultra
Winona Forest Backyard Ultra is a backyard ultra held in Mannsville, NY, at the CCC Camp in Winona State Forest. The course is a 4.167 mile loop with the start/finish area, aid station, portajohns, and parking located at the race headquarters. The venue is about 6 miles from Interstate 81. Runners may set up a personal area with chairs and tents near the start/finish on a first come, first served basis; power outlets are not available.
The format requires runners to complete each loop within one hour and be in the starting corral to begin the next loop. Failure to return within the hour or to be in the corral before the top of the hour results in elimination. Runners may receive crew support at their personal area but pacers and non-competitors are not allowed on the course. A single common aid station near the staging area is available; no aid is allowed on the course itself. Artificial aids, including trekking poles, are not permitted.
The event records participant milestones based on laps completed and issues milestone stickers and a DNF magnet. Included with registration are a custom bib, a stocked aid station, food for runners and crew, a commemorative koozie after a last lap, 24 hour emergency support, and a safe, well marked course. A T shirt is provided if registration meets the event deadline. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
