Flag City Backyard Ultra : Findlay Reservoir, OH
Flag City Backyard Ultra is a last man standing loop race held at the Findlay Reservoir (East Side) in Findlay, Ohio. Competitors must complete a repeated loop of 4.3 miles every hour, on the hour. The event continues until a single runner completes a loop alone; all other competitors are recorded as DNF.
The course is flat with no elevation gain, mud, or roots. The loop is straightforward with no shortcuts and no way to get lost. The race is self supported: no food, drink, or supplies are provided during the race, and no personal aid is allowed on the loop except for common aid stations. Runners are advised to bring necessary supplies and a headlamp.
Event services for 2026 include professional timing, live online results, ankle and bib tracking tags, and a live stream of the event. All entrants receive a technical shirt. Parking is available on the grass at the base of the reservoir; vehicles may drive to the top only for drop off and may not remain there. Camping is permitted the night before with porta-johns available but no running water.
Entries are non refundable and non transferable. After expenses, remaining funds will be donated to Habitat for Humanity. The event is organized by Flag City Backyard Ultra LLC. Registration closes Sep 3 at 11:59 PM ET. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
