Winona Forest Backyard Ultra - Mannsville, NY
Winona Forest Backyard Ultra is held at the CCC Camp in Winona State Forest near Mannsville, NY. The course is a 4.167 mile trail loop and the event uses the Backyard Ultra format: runners must complete each lap within the allotted hour and return to the starting corral to begin the next lap. Participants repeat laps until only one runner completes a final lap.
The start/finish area at the camp includes a common aid station, portajohns, parking, pop up tents, and picnic tables. Runners may set up a personal area on a first come, first served basis; power outlets are not available. Crew are allowed but pacers are not permitted. No artificial aids including trekking poles are allowed on the course. Competitors may not receive on-course aid from crew or non-competitors and may leave the course only for restrooms once a lap is finished. Organizers provide warnings before corral close and require runners to be in the starting corral to continue.
