The Beyond Backyard Ultra
Despite the pandemic 2021 has brought some interesting running adventures already. For example running my first Backyard Ultra together with a bunch of lovely people around the Simssee in the Bavarian Hinterland. It was a weird kind of experience that does not fit in any traditional category of running, neither training nor racing. I’m glad I did this and highly recommend giving it a shot, if you haven’t done so yet.
In the meantime watch the wonderful "BEYOND BACKYARD ULTRA" film Stephan Wieser has created.
Running has many faces and easily adapts to almost every situation. The Covid-19 Pandemic has leveraged one of the most quirky but also challenging race formats ever known: Backyard Ultras.
