The Nordic Nations
Alongside the individual race, Valhalla will host the Nordic Nations Backyard Championship.
Eight Nordic countries and territories — Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Greenland and Åland — will be invited to compete, alongside a wildcard team.
Each team can field up to five athletes, with the three highest individual yard totals contributing to the team's championship score.
Nine teams. One shared battlefield. A championship where every yard could make the difference.
All championship athletes compete in the same Backyard Ultra as the public entrants, following the same hourly starts and individual race rules.
