Quarantine Backyard Ultra

The Personal Peak Quarantine Backyard Ultra started on April 4, 2020. The virtual race had 2400 people start from 65 countries around the world. 45 hours later, there would be only two, Radek Brunner running on a treadmill in the Czech Republic, and Michael Wardian running loops around his neighbourhood in Virginia, USA. They would go head to head for another 18 hours, until Radek Brunner would fail to start the 63rd hour.

Quarantine Backyard Ultra..well not really an ultra... Det gik ikke helt som planlagt. Det gik godt de første 2 loop, men så blev det kedeligt, at løbe alene og ikke kunne tale med konkurrenterne var bare ikke mig.. så nappede 4 loops og tog det som ugens LSD tur.. også kaldte middagen 🤪 
Selve race formatet var fedt, så glæder mig til at prøve kræfter med det igen til Run O'Clock med lobetosset.dk

New documentation is out! Last weekend's #quarantinebackyardultra
First ever backyard run! First virtual run! Click profile link for more! 🏁💨 .
Biraz gecikti. Ama taze taze fırından çıktı.

Geçtiğimiz haftasonu, #quarantinebackyardultra 'yı koşmuştuk. İlk "Backyard - Arka Bahçe" koşusu, ilk sanal yarış olarak kayda geçirmek istedik. (Şimdilik profildeki linkte, rapor ve video teamrunbo .com ve YouTube kanalımızda.) Her şey bir yana. A planlarımız iptal iken, bu B PLANI ne iyi geldi. 
Bu haftasonu da mcrracesetter 'ın aynı vizyonla, bize iyi gelecek bir B PLANI sanal yarışına  katılıyoruz.

Bugün start almak için son gün. 🏁💨 Haydi, yerlerimizi alalım!

With all races cancelled up to at least end of June, I hadn’t planned on any races, let alone coming out of ultra “retirement” this weekend.  Ended up completing 10 rounds, 10 hours, and 42.20 miles at the #quarantinebackyardultra. Thanks to personal_peak for putting on a fun event and giving us runners an opportunity to connect albeit virtually. Also a special thanks to iloendurance for being my constant source of fuel and positive encouragement throughout. A special shoutout to my good friend pdxveganrunner who also completes his first 50k today at the event. 🏃🏼

Quarantine Backyard Ultra - Golden Toilet Paper Roll
The world's most coveted prize, the Golden Toilet Paper Roll

Quarantine Backyard Ultra – LIVE feeds – April 4-6, 2020

The Quarantine Backyard Ultra was a grand misadventure of live streaming. For this reason or that we constantly found our YouTube channels being shut down mid-stream for unknown reasons. We would jump the stream to another channel, then get shut down, then we would jump again. Eventually the stream ended up on Facebook. However, following along has been a seemingly impossible task. So we organized the videos into a timeline.

Below is the comprehensive list of all of the Quarantine Backyard Ultra LIVE feeds.

You can also following along using the interactive timeline above.

Quarantine Backyard Ultra LIVE Updates

The amazing Broadcast Team posted LIVE updates about the Quarantine Backyard Ultra every 6 hours throughout the entire QBU!

This Team was conceived, assembled, and lead by Dave Robertson with much of the heavy lifting done by second year Mount Royal University broadcast students Diana De Gracia, and Ryan Yip with the help of professional newscaster, Mark Villani.

Together, these four produced amazing, LIVE content throughout the QBU. They interviewed participants and organizers, incorporated fun and interesting video content submitted by you, and kept you informed about what was happening from start to finish.

With less than 6 days from initial conception, to “Go Time”, this team managed to pull off something truly incredible!

Thank you Team for producing something truly special! We are so grateful for all of your hard work!
