Backyard Ultra World Championships - LIVE

Last two standing are on their 105th lap(hour) of a 4.16 mile course! New World Record already set. Main rules - no help on course and at the start of each hour you must be at the start line. These guys are insane.

EDIT - last two standing include one Canadian and one American.

I guess. 4.1miles every hour until one person remains. If last two quit together, everyone loses.

So they can sit for whatever time remains in the hour if they finish early? The average adult can walk a mile in 15 minutes so it’s more of the number of hours, not the distance.
