Laz’s Big Dog Backyard Ultra took place on October 22, 2011 in Lazarus Lake’s backyard in Wartrace, Tennessee…naturally.
This unique race consisted of a 4.16 mile loop where the runners had to complete the loop in less than a hour. If a runner couldn’t then he or she was disqualified and their day was over. The race restarts every hour, on the hour, and it repeats until just one runner is left standing.
Tim Englund won the inaugural event, lasting 18 loops (74.88 miles), beating Dave Carver who completed 17 loops (70.72 miles).
