Little Dog's Backyard Ultra (Hosted by Laz!)
I've been looking forward to Little Dog since Strolling Jim in May. It's a Laz race, named after his dog named Little, and has its own unique charm unlike any other. This is the 2nd year of the race after Big's (the original) got too large to be an at-large event. A backyard ultra consists of completing 4.167 miles every hour until there's 1 person remaining and they are the winner. Technically, everyone else DNFs in one of the following ways: not finishing on time (timed out, over an hour to complete), incomplete (not finishing a yard), or refusing to continue. The race is counted in yards, loops, or laps and is equivalent to how many hours the race takes place. The day loop is a trail yard in Laz's actual backyard. This year the course has been revamped with new bridges and amazing trail work. The night yard is a 2.08333-mile road run out and back. Picture Of Little (P/C Matt Burke) I enjoy
