SHSH Backyard Ultra 2026

SHSH Backyard Ultra is a virtual 24-hour running challenge associated with Dover, Delaware, based at 400 S Queen St. Runners complete 2 miles at the start of each hour; finishing the event means covering 48 miles over a full day and night. Participants may run on any course they choose, submitting proof via Strava or a similar app. The format adopts the backyard-ultra rhythm of hourly starts but uses a fixed 24-hour duration instead of last-runner-standing elimination. The event benefits the Dover Police K9 unit.
