About the Last Stand 1776 Backyard Ultra

This Midlothian event uses the backyard-ultra format to turn consistency and recovery into the main competition. Each completed loop buys another start, and the fundraiser supports wounded and ill service members, veterans and their families.

Course

Runners complete a 4.18-mile loop and must return to the start line on the hour. The terrain matters, but repeated transitions, fueling and the discipline to avoid unnecessary effort decide how long the day lasts.

Race-day weather

June in central Virginia can be hot and humid, with the possibility of storms. Heat management becomes more important as the hourly loops accumulate.
