Countdown
May
A backyard ultra: run the same 4.2-mile loop every hour, on the hour, and keep going until only one runner is left standing.
Key facts
01New loop starts every hour on the hour, so rest time depends on your pace
02Last runner standing wins; the race runs until Sunday midnight at the latest
03Climb is 168 m per loop, gentle, but it adds up over many laps
