About the event:
The Horizontes Backyard Ultra is an official race on the Backyard Ultra calendar. An American concept created by Lazarus Lake, organizer of the famous and legendary Barkley Marathons in Frozen Head Nature Park, in Tennessee.

The logic of this race is very simple, to complete a loop of 6.706 km in a maximum time of 1 hour. Every hour there is a new start and everyone has to complete the “loop” in less than an hour. If someone finishes early, they can rest while waiting for the new “loop” to begin.
