About the Hagemanns Backyard Festival
Hagemanns Backyard Festival brings a rapidly growing Norwegian field to Svelvik for open-ended hourly racing. Runners must cover one 6.706 km yard inside each hour until a lone athlete completes the final lap.
Course
The 6.706 km yard is split roughly evenly between asphalt and gravel and gains about 88 m per circuit. That mixed, rolling profile rewards restraint even though both surfaces remain highly runnable.
Race-day weather
Spring in Svelvik can bring freezing mornings, mild afternoons and quick rain showers. The organizer's wide historical temperature range makes adaptable layers and protected crew supplies important.
