Backyard ultra is a form of ultramarathon where participants must run 6.706 kilometers (4.167 miles) in under one hour, which corresponds to a pace of 100 miles in 24 hours. The race is over when only one runner remains to complete a lap, and this runner is declared the winner and the sole finisher. The Big Tex Backyard, returning for its second year, follows a "last runner standing" format where participants start every hour, on the hour, until only one remains.
