Laps For Love Backyard Ultra : Wichita, KS
The Laps For Love Backyard Ultra is a community-focused endurance race held at Sedgwick County Park near the Plum Shelter area in Wichita, Kansas. The event donates $100 from every registration to Family Promise of Greater Wichita to support families with children experiencing homelessness.
This event follows the traditional Backyard Ultra format. Runners complete repeated loops of a 4.167-mile course; a new loop begins every hour and a runner must finish the loop within the hour to continue. There is no preset distance or time limit and the last runner to complete a full loop alone is declared the winner.
The course uses paved park paths with minimal elevation change. Course details and maps will be shared closer to race weekend, and registered runners may have opportunities to preview course options in advance.
On race morning, gates open early and participants may set up before the start. Check-in will be available. Crews are allowed at the start and finish area and participants should bring their own nutrition and supplies. A main aid station will offer water, light snacks, Ultraverse Supplements Proxima C, and solid food as the race progresses. Absolutely no pacers are allowed and participants are asked to be respectful of fellow runners, volunteers, and the park.
All runners who complete at least one loop receive a finisher item, and pre-registered runners who meet the t-shirt deadline receive a t-shirt. Photography will cover the first 12 hours of the event. Kansas weather can be variable and there are no refunds or deferrals. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
