Winona Forest Backyard Ultra
This event uses a repeating loop format on a measured 4.167 mile loop at the CCC Camp in Winona State Forest near Mannsville, NY. Runners complete one loop every hour and must return to the starting corral before the next hour begins to remain in the event. Failure to finish a loop within the hour or to be in the starting corral at the top of the hour results in elimination. The race continues with additional hourly loops until only one runner completes a final lap.
The venue includes the start and finish area, a common fully stocked aid station, porta‑johns, parking, picnic tables and space for individual setups such as pop up tents. Personal crew support is allowed but pacers are not. Personal setups are on a first come first served basis and power outlets are not provided.
Aid at the start/finish will include fluids, snacks, simple meals and limited medical supplies; crews and runners are encouraged to bring preferred foods and special diet items. No artificial aids including trekking poles are allowed. Registrants receive event items that may include a T shirt if registered by the stated deadline, a custom bib, a commemorative tumbler, milestone stickers and a DNF magnet. Milestones tracked in results include single lap, beyond a half marathon, beyond a marathon, beyond 50K, fifty miles and 100 miles. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
