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.

How the Race Unfolded

After multiple issues with YouTube bans, the race live stream hopped across the internet, with a frenzy of fans always searching for the next stream. Here's a more organized version of the videos to recap what happened!
Ok girls and boys at 3pm this afternoon on the hour every hour I will be running 6.71km as part of the #QuarantineBackyard Ultra. I will keep running until I either get bored, get timed out of a loop or I am the last person standing! 
Oh and I’m doing it up and down my driveway (I will give you a tour later)! I’ve made a lemon meringue pie to get me through the night (thanks allirundle for the recipe)!
You can check out personal_peak for all the info on how to follow this crazy race!

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

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!
