Other questions
A backyard ultra is a last-person-standing format. Everyone starts together and runs one loop within the hour, then lines up again at the top of the next hour to repeat it. Runners who fail to finish the loop in time are out, and the event continues until a single runner completes one more loop than everyone else. The Rytterne Backyard Ultra is run over a 7 kilometre loop.
Backyard ultras almost always benefit from having someone with you, because runners return to the same start and finish area every hour and need food, dry clothing and encouragement between loops. The organiser's race information will confirm whether crews and personal support areas are permitted at this event.
Because the format brings runners back to the same spot every hour, backyard ultras are unusually good for spectators, who can follow the race from one place across many hours. Confirm with the organiser whether there is a designated spectator area and what facilities are available on site.
