Overview
Austria Backyard 7+1 - Loosdorf TRAIL operates on an exceptionally unforgiving schedule, with an 8-hour time limit that is tighter than 91% of 50k cut-offs and more generous than only 9% across 1086 peer events. Maintaining the required 9 minutes per kilometer cut-off pace is made considerably easier by the terrain, which rises just 3.2 meters per kilometer for a total elevation gain of 170 meters over the 53.6-kilometer route.
Staged in Loosdorf by Mostyards Runners, the event adapts the backyard ultra format across 8 distinct loops. The first 7 circuits restart on the hour, every hour, while the eighth and final lap abandons the neutralized pace to crown the fastest finisher.
