Bakgårdsultra Volda

Volda Bakgårdsultra is a 12-round backyard ultra held in Volda, Norway. The race base is at SpareBank 1-hallen, near Volda Stadion. It takes place in October. The format is straightforward: runners begin a 6.7 km loop each full hour and must be prepared for the next start. The full distance totals 80.4 km, also noted as 50 miles. The difficulty lies not in a quick start, but in repeating the loop on schedule, balancing rest periods, and enduring fatigue. Past results are available, and the participants include local club runners from Volda, Ørsta, Syvde, Velledalen, Hasundgot, and Ålesund.
