Dugz Backyard Ultra - Race Recap

Um, but maybe we should just break down, maybe just start what a Backyard Ultra is-

Yeah

... for those listening.

So Backyard Ultra is a, um, a race usually where you run 6.7 kilometers every hour on the hour.

So you start at a specific amount of time.

Whatever time you get back to the start is how much time you have left until your next hour.

You have to start when that bell rings on the hour or else you're disqualified.

Um, you have to complete it before the hour's up or else you're disqualified.

And so last man standing format is you do as many laps as you possibly can until there's only one man standing left.

This one, um, was timed and limited to 18 hours.

Yep.

So, um, [lips smack] and sometimes they're, they're limited to specific amounts of time because who wants to run until-

Yeah.

We have jobs.

Yeah.

[laughs] Exactly.

The people that-

Who wants to run for days

... that organize these have jobs.

Yeah.

So that's kinda what we did.

So Doug, uh, like you said, does it for cancer, um, support and research.

Mm-hmm.

Um, it's near and dear to his heart.

Um, and so Red's, uh, Source for Sports Lacombe and Bike Shop really helped Doug to kinda put that on.
