🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️Get ready for a foot race experience: Delta Backyard Ultra! 💪 Competitors must run 6706 meters in less than one hour until only one last finisher remains. 🏆😱 But don't worry, after each yard, you'll have time to recover and fuel up for the next one. 🌿

Big's Backyard Ultra, the original backyard ultra invented by Gary "Lazarus Lake" Cantrell, started in 2012 as a tribute to his rescued pit bull, Big. In 2019, we brought Delta Backyard Ultra to Camp Delta Scout Grounds Johannesburg. 💥

: In 1910, Eugene Estoppey ran one mile every hour for 1000 hours, breaking the previous record of 615 miles! 🤯
