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 creek at night. The event continues until only one runner completes an additional lap beyond all others, with no set finish time or distance.
Participants enjoy a supportive atmosphere with aid stations, dedicated spaces under pavilions, and a chance to earn a custom belt buckle and cash prize. Proceeds support suicide prevention and the local park. 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!
