Do Hard Things Shamruck & Run Backyard Ultra
The Shamruck & Run Backyard Ultra by Do Hard Things takes place on March 13, 2027 at Cooper's Landing in Columbia, Missouri. It uses a backyard ultra, last person standing format with separate running and weighted rucking divisions.
Participants complete a set loop each hour and must finish the loop within that hour and be ready to start the next hour. Finishing a loop early is allowed, but starting the next loop early is not permitted. If a participant does not finish within the hour or is not ready at the next start, that participant is out. The event continues until one participant remains in each division; there is no preset finish time.
Distances and typical totals:
- Running: 4.167 mile loop, roughly 100 miles after 24 completed loops.
- Rucking: 2.6 mile loop, roughly 100 kilometers after 24 completed loops.
- One loop option of 4.17 miles is available for those who want to complete a single circuit.
Ruckers must carry a minimum required weight: women 20 pounds, men 30 pounds, and must bring their own ruck and weights. Registration grants entry, course access, and hourly lap tracking. Before each loop participants contribute one dollar to a race jar; half of each division s jar goes to the last person standing and half is donated to the veterans organization Welcome Veterans.
Participants should plan to be self supported and may use venue amenities according to Cooper s Landing policies. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
