Backyard Ultra Event

basicjim 2 days ago

When creating an event, the choices for the event are distance or timed event.

Backyard Ultras are last man standing events. The distance depends on when everyone else quits. The time depends on when everyone else quits. Is there a way to create an event that denotes this fomat?

There is no function to handle that.

Other backyard ultras have either been added as the max time possible to set for an event (48:00:00) or the distance 6.7 km. It doesn't really matter for the event in Garmin Connect. You put a link to the info with what a backyard is. It is probably best to make it distance based with 6.7 km. If you set a time then some users might think that it is the max time. Not many normal runners will make it past 48 hours, but just in case.
