Winona Forest Backyard Ultra

WINONA'S BACKYARD provides a great opportunity to challenge yourself in a unique event unlike others you may have participated in before. The event appeals to all types of runners, perfect for reaching a new milestone. It's a great opportunity to get in a long training run with support, cover a marathon or 50 mile or even, if you have what it takes.....be the LAST RUNNER STANDING.

Event Details

The race will begin at 8:00 a.m. and each runner will have exactly one hour to complete the 4.167 mile loop course. If a runner fails to return within the hour, they are eliminated from the race. Runners can complete the course at whatever pace they choose, but they MUST finish the loop and be at the starting line to start the next race within 60 minutes.

Participant Milestones

We want the WINONA BYU to motivate participants to challenge themselves to reach a new personal milestone. When you earn a milestone it will be listed in the race results posted on the website. You will also receive a milestone sticker that can be placed on your DNF souvenir at the conclusion of your race.

Aid Station/Support

We will have one fully stocked aid station at the Start/Finish line. Runners should set up their own support area around the start/finish for extended rest periods, personal gear, and preferences for food and hydration.
