Lion King Backyard Ultra
The Lion King Backyard Ultra is an ultramarathon held at Lions Club Park in Rolla, Missouri. This unique race features a 4.167-mile loop that runners must complete every hour, with the course transitioning from a scenic dirt trail through mature forests and cedar groves by day to a flat, paved trail alongside a flowing creek at night. The event continues until only one runner completes an additional lap beyond all others, with no set finish time or distance.
The race supports suicide prevention efforts and offers awards including a custom belt buckle and a bronze coin. Participants enjoy a supportive atmosphere with aid stations, dedicated spaces, and camping options. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
Always double-check with the organizer's website – things can change, and we might have sprinted past a few details!
