Thank you to all who participated in and supported the Bong Backyards!
Hopefully, all of you crushed goals, ran your furthest you've ever run before, had a lot of fun, and/or want to do this all over again one day soon!!
Congrats to Beau Oestreich (13 yards) and Brandon Johnson (16 yards) on your wins in the Ultra and 24, respectively!
After their wins, they continued on their own to go further. Beau went 17 yards, while Brandon made it to 20 yards.
Results!

In the spirit of the traditional Backyard Ultra, this option will push competitors who haven't DNF'd through 24 yards on the Blue Trail, around Wolf Lake.
Every yard is 4.167mi, and must be completed before the hour is up. Those who are ready, must start at the top of the next hour.
All those who DNF will receive a specially made coin to commemorate their participation.
Those who finish all 24 yards will receive a specially made medal for their accomplishment.
Registration includes camping at Group Camping Site A in the Sunrise Campgroup of Bong. This serves as the start/finish line.
Some of the basic Ultra running aid will be available to competitors, and feel free to bring your own fuel to help you go!
More details will come shortly!
