[edit]Best result by a female runner is missing from the page. Lisa Amundsson from Sweden completed 33 laps at Älvdalen Backyard Ultra in 2018. The last two laps she ran solo only because she wanted to beat the Swedish record.

In this case the last of the two laps does not count under the rules of the backyard ultra which only permits the winner to complete one additional lap after the assisting athlete has completed their final lap.
First female winner in not correct
[edit]In June 2018 Lisa Amundsson won Älvdalen Backyard Ultra. If she was the first female winner in a Backyard Ultra event ever or if someone else preceeded her I don't know. But she preceeded the woman who at the moment is posted as the first ever.

In 2016 Nina Eibring shared the victory with Hasse Byrén at Örebro Backyard Ultra (21 loops) and Annika Nilrud shared the victory with Emir Halalkic at Lurs Backyard Ultra (30 loops). The first single female winner was Nina Eibring with 18 loops at Skövde Ultrafestival Backyard Ultra in July 2017. In the same year, Dena Carr won The Game Backyard Ultra in Texas with 22 loops. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Westis (talk • contribs) 06:27, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
Runner up = Assist ??
[edit]Every runner is for himself in the race, as it seems from the rules. Explanation for this particular term. [1] Setenzatsu.2 (talk) 22:47, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
- It's because it was realised that the distance a race goes for is ultimately determined by the last person to drop out.
- That if you want to go a certain distance (say for a world or national record) you need at least one other person who can go that far.
- It is recognition of the effort of that individual. That without them, the specific distance would not have been possible. Felixmeister (talk) 13:25, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
