We get the explanation on this week's episode of the Athletics Ontario Running Podcast from a panel of experts: Stephen Parker, author of There is No Finish: The Backyard Ultra Story, Persistence Racing's Neil McKay and 2024 Backyard Ultra World Championship competitor Justin Wright! Listen to stories about this amazing oddity of a running event, including the appearance of anti-cheerleaders, completing laps while wearing a tutu and the event where all runners received a DNF!
