I've seen a couple vids where portions seem to be on roads or bike paths, but not the whole thing

From what I gather, most switch to a road type course during the dark hours then go back to the trails during the daylight hours. The one I just did, stayed on the trails the whole time...which is great if you're a trial runner. I am not.

Then you have Sri Chinmoy race where you run around the block, 18 hours a day for up to 52 days for a total of 3100 miles

If I were to do one, on my own [like people did last year] and using my home as the "Base Camp" it would have to be all roads, as there are no trails anywhere nearby

Does anyone know if there are any "Backyard" style road course events out there?

Sounds like somebody wants a section run.

I do dog trials in rural Wisconsin and it is all sections(1 mile by 1 mile) or half sections(1 mile by 1/2 mile) so either a 3 or a 4 mile loop.


Traffic is low enough it wouldn't be a problem except it would have to be done on a full moon otherwise it would be dark as there is no light pollution where I'm thinking of.
