About the race
WINONA FOREST BACKYARD ULTRA takes place at the CCC Camp in Winona State Forest near Mannsville, NY. The event uses a single loop course of 4.167 miles that begins anew every hour; runners must complete the loop within the hour and be in the starting corral to begin the next loop. If a runner does not finish the loop in time or is not in the corral at the top of the hour, they are eliminated. Pacers are not allowed; crews may assist runners between loops but may not provide aid on the course.
The start/finish area, aid station, portajohns and parking are located at Race HQ. There will be a fully stocked common aid station at the start/finish area and volunteers providing support there. Participants may set up a personal area with chairs and tents around the course on a first come first served basis; power outlets are not available. The event supplies a custom bib, a commemorative koozie after a runner's last lap, milestone stickers and a DNF magnet, a t shirt for registrations by August 7, food for runners and crew, 24 hour emergency support, and a marked course. Milestones are tracked by laps and include distances such as 12 laps for 50 miles and 24 laps for 100 miles. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
