Simulation Heat Run

The Simulation Heat Run is designed as a backyard heat rehearsal 🎬 a chance for runners, crew, and volunteers to train in the real and tough conditions of Backyard Ultra format before race day. It replicates the loop, hourly starts, and support facilities, giving everyone a hands-on feel of the event.

For runners, it’s the perfect opportunity to test pacing, fueling strategies, and endurance in a controlled setup during heat hours. For crews, it’s a chance to practice logistics and support systems. And for volunteers, it’s the moment to understand race-day flow.

Whether you’re preparing to race, crew, or support, the Simulation Run helps fine-tune strategies, build confidence, and step into the true backyard spirit!
