What does it take to become one of the most elite and consistent backyard ultramarathon runners on the planet? In this episode, we sit down with Scott Snell, currently ranked #36 in the world on Yardlore. Scott is a 3x Capital Backyard Champion and set a personal best at the 2024 Backyard Ultra World Team Championships, where he pushed to a staggering  88 yards (366+ miles) to capture a World Title.

Fresh off his most recent victory at the More Miles Last One Standing Challenge—where he conquered a brutal trail course to take the win at 29 yards—Scott takes us behind the curtain of the "last runner standing" format. We dive into the physical toll of grinding out 4.167-mile loops hour after hour and what it was like to share the trail with his son during his latest triumph.

Whether you are aiming for your first backyard loop or looking to crack triple-digit mileage, Scott shares the ultimate blueprint for outlasting the field.
