Not in my backyard, no. A "Backyard Ultra" is unique "last one standing" race format. Each participant must run a 6.7km (4.2 miles) each hour. They must then wait until the top of the next hour to start the next loop. The race ends when only a single person completes a loop. Some events go on for several days. The name "Backyard" ultra comes from the fact that the creator of the format held the first event in his (large) backyard and called it "Big's Backyard Ultra" (Big is the name of his dog). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backyard_ultra

My training runs was a "race simulation". The plan was to run 12 such loops, stopping after each and waiting until the top of the hour to start the next. I mapped out the route on a local rail trail called the Beltline Trail.

Sorry, to be clear you ran an ultra in your backyard ?

The overnight part is to help practice the sleep deprivation aspect ... and I because I have kids and this way I get home in time to feed them breakfast, before taking a short nap ;)

Don’t Eat with the people U won’t starve with 💀🖤

By "top of the hour", I mean when the next hour on the clock begins. For this run, the first loop started exactly at 7pm, then we finished at about 7:50pm, then waited until exactly 8pm to start the second. The 3rd loop started at exactly 9pm, and so on...
