Discover the Backyard Spirit

The GT4H – Backyard Starter is the perfect way to get started with the Backyard format.

Same principle.
Same loop.
Same vibe at base camp.

But with a more manageable challenge.

For four hours, runners set off on a new lap every hour.

The principle

The rule is the same as for the main race.

A 6.706-kilometer loop.
Departures every hour.

Finish the loop before the next start…
and you're off again.

As the hours go by, the race progresses and the laps follow one after another.

An accessible format

The GT4H lets you experience the Backyard spirit without committing to a 24-hour race.

It's the perfect format for:

• Learn about the concept
• take on the first challenge
• share the experience with friends
• experience the unique atmosphere of base camp

A first step

For some, the GT4H will be a goal.
For others, it will be a first step.

A way to test the format.

And maybe, next year, give the 24 Hours of GT a try.
