About this race
Mardi Gras meets Backyard Ultra. 💜💚💛
A 36-hour Mardi Gras endurance challenge at Eightfold Farms in Benton, Louisiana.
But here’s the best part - you don’t have to be an ultra runner to join the Krewe.
Maybe this is your first 5K. Maybe you’re ready to tackle a 10K. Maybe you’ve always wanted to run your first half marathon, marathon, or ULTRA. Or maybe you just want to find out how far you can really go.
This race is YOUR challenge.
Complete a 3.2-mile loop every hour, on the hour, for as long as you choose to keep going.
Run one loop. Run two. Hit a new distance. Chase a huge goal. Stay all 36 hours.
There’s no “right” distance - just YOUR distance.
Come challenge yourself. Come surprise yourself. And come see just how many loops you’ve got in you. 💜💚💛
Every hour. On the hour. Until YOU decide you’re done.
