Discover the Race Formats
Not everyone comes to a Backyard looking for the same thing. Some want to discover the format, others want to test themselves for several hours, and others want to find out just how far they can go.
That’s why, at the PROVITAL Backyard Ultra – Gran Canaria, you can choose from different ways to take on the challenge:
ULTRA · CHALLENGE · FUN RUN · INCLUSIVE
DIFFERENT CHALLENGES. ONE BELL.
ULTRA – NO LAP LIMIT
The ULTRA format can be raced individually or in pairs. You choose how to take it on.
INDIVIDUAL
One lap every hour. No limit. You continue for as long as you can complete each lap within the allotted time and be back at the start for the next one.
PAIRS
Each team member runs their own race, and they do not need to run together. The pair’s ranking is determined by the total number of laps completed by both team members.
MEN · WOMEN · MIXED

Each hour, you’ll have to complete 6.706 km, return to the starting corral and be ready to go again when the bell rings.
It’s not just about running fast. You’ll need to know how to pace yourself, recover, eat, hydrate and decide how much to push on each lap, because in this format, every second counts from the very first start.
Every lap adds up. Every second counts.
