I've done two backyard ultras. (actually winning one of them!) and while I love the loop concept the time pressure is just not as much fun for me as a timed event. I've done 6 and 12 hour races and enjoy them a lot more! Maybe partly because I am a lot slower now so the pressure to finish quicker is even greater.
I have a friend that summited all the 14 for peaks in the San Juan in one long run. It took him 104 hours. I don’t know if anybody else has tired this. He started at Purgatory and ended with the Wilson’s group ending at the Kilpacker trail head

Ginny is fantastic! She once borrowed my wife's hokas due to forgetting hers! I don't think they fit her either! Tough and so humble!
I love anecdotes like that that show character. Thanks for reading, and for sharing!
