Grind on the Grid Backyard Ultra
Grind on the Grid Backyard Ultra is a Backyard Ultra event held in Wingate, IN at 3272 East New Richmond Road on April 17, 2027. The event uses a single loop course of 4 miles 880 feet designed as an out and back with a short grass trail loop toward the end. Running surfaces include approximately 0.5 mile of gravel, 0.5 mile of grass, and 3.167 miles of road with decent shoulders.
Loops start exactly one hour apart; organizers give 3, 2, and 1 minute warnings before each start and all competitors must start at the bell. The starting corral is sized to fit the whole field and remains the same size throughout the event; participants must be in the corral at the bell. Except for restroom breaks, competitors may not leave the course during a loop. Portapotties will be located near the starting corral.
No non competitors are allowed on the course, and no personal aid is permitted during a loop though common aid stations are allowed. Artificial aids including trekking poles are not permitted. Each loop must be completed within an hour to count; organizers will track who finishes each loop but will not provide official split timing for individual laps. The winner is the last person to complete a loop; all others are recorded as DNF with results reported by distance covered. Tent or canopy setup is permitted the night before. The event is targeting 100 runners. Registration closes Thu, Apr 15 at 11:59 PM ET. Entry fee shown is USD 157.92. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
