Delta Backyard 2023 has introduced a Distance Challenge: 1 Yard (+5km), 4 Yards (+21.1km), 7 Yards (+42.2km) and 15 Yards (100km).

Select the specific race distance(s) you wish to compete in. You may enter as many challenges as you wish to compete in. You can run as many yards as you wish throughout the event on any specific day, but only the fastest yards will count in your result. E.g. if you entered the 1-Yard and 4-Yard challenges on Day 1 and the 7-Yard challenge on Day 2, then your fastest yard and fastest 4 yards will be counted on Day 1 and your fastest 7 yards will be counted on Day 2.

Day 1: You have from 7:00 am to 23:00, or the last Classic DBU Event runner goes out for their final lap, whichever comes first.
Day 2: You have from 00:00 until 23:00, or the last Classic DBU Event runner goes out for their final lap, whichever comes first. Note that if the Classic DBU Event runner finishes at 22:00 on Day 1, there will not be a Distance Challenge event on Day 2.

Classic DBU Event runners are automatically entered in every Distance Challenge event.

Prize money (if any) will be confirmed for each event on our website.
