What we’re about

LUB: The Lausanne Unofficial Backyard (First Edition) encourages you to join however many 6.706km laps you want, starting at whichever hour you want, within the 08:00 - 20:00 timeframe (if you do 12 laps, you’ll do 80.472 km).

So, the only rules are:

  • Join whenever you want (on the hour) 🕚
  • Run as many as 12 loops 🏃🏻‍♂️🏃‍♀️
  • Cheer for / support anyone else participating 🌟 🎉

Date: 01 June, 08:00 start (or 09:00, 10:00…19:00 - every hour, on the hour)
Location: ‘Home’base in grassy area near Ouchy

(The backyard ultra or last one standing is a form of ultramarathon race where competitors must consecutively run the distance of 6.706 kilometres (4.167 mi) in less than one hour.)

The race SHOULD be over when only one runner remains to complete a lap, and you SHOULD run one lap per hour but that’s where this will differ…all are welcome 🎉 It’s not about the speed, but rather how many loops you want to run! You cannot start another loop before the next hour.
