Waterfront Ultra

On April 26th, 2025 we will be hosting our second annual Waterfront Ultra Charity Race at Project Barley Waterfront in Redondo Beach, CA. The idea for our event was inspired by the world famous Backyard Ultra Championships created by Lazarus Lake (https://backyardultra.com). After following this event for a number of years, we thought it would be a fun idea to not only try it ourselves, but also be of service to our community in the process. Here’s how it works.
Every hour on the hour, racers are required to step up to the starting line and proceed to run 4.167 miles. The race continues every hour until the final hour where it becomes a race for time. Simple! Athletes can choose to compete in either a 50 Mile, 12 hour or a 25 Mile, 6 hour version of the race and will be allowed to use our designated rest area in the Project Barley Annex while waiting for the next hour to start. Fair warning, while this area is large enough to hold everyone, it is not large enough for everyone to lay down while all athletes are still in the race. Be kind to your fellow racer.
