What is a backyard ultra?

A backyard ultra is an elimination-style race where it’s “last one standing.” Every hour on the dot, you set off for a 6.706 km loop. Finish early? You recover, but you start again the next hour. Miss the cutoff or skip a start, and you’re eliminated. The last survivor wins.
