Carlo Fabian finished his backyard ultra effort during the 26th hour at 104.16 miles with 20:46:15 of official race time not including rest after completing his laps. His fastest lap was a blazing 37:39. This was a PR for Carlo and his 4th race of 100 miles or more. Even more impressive, he inspired his friends and family by achieving his goal of outrunning the dark. Thank you to Carlo’s race crew and Bob's Big Timber Backyard Ultra - A Last Man Standing Event team for putting on a great race. We’ll have more content from the weekend in the coming days.

What is a Backyard Ultramarathon?

🏃‍♂️A unique race format where participants run a set distance every hour, on the hour.
🏃‍♂️The race continues until only one runner remains, hence the name “Last Man Standing”.
🏃‍♂️It’s a test of both physical endurance and mental resilience.

Bob’s Big Timber Backyard Ultra - August 5, 2023

🌲This specific backyard ultra requires competitors to run 6706 meters (approximately 4.167 miles) within an hour.
🌲The race takes place on a 4-mile trail loop course that’s part of the Hunter Family generational tree farm.
🌲The farm is nestled in the scenic foothills, providing a beautiful yet challenging terrain for the runners. Pacers are not allowed.
🌲It’s not just about the competition, but also about camaraderie and shared experiences among the participants.

Outrun the Dark

☀️ This is Carlo Fabian’s third ultramarathon he is running to raise funds for the Josh Merriman Foundation a non-profit in his late friend’s name that raises awareness for mental health care and su***de prevention.
☀️ We have named this campaign “Outrun the Dark” to align with the fact that Carlo will likely be running beyond 24 hours and must run through one (if not more) nights of darkness. This endurance race with these factors mirror the dark nights that we all face at some point in our lives, some people more than others. When these moments of darkness and despair come and there’s no clear distance of the finish line, we must rely on our community and faith to help us outrun the dark.
☀️Carlo has previously completed three 100 mile ultramarathons, but this is his first attempt at a Backyard Ultra. He will need the support of his crew, family, and friends. If you are not attending the race, you can follow Hype Me Up on Instagram for livestreams, stories, post updates on Carlo’s race.
☀️If you’d like to contribute financially, please visit this GoFundMe link supporting the Josh Merriman Foundation: https://www.gofundme.com/f/outrun-the-dark

We’ll see you on the course!

“Today marks four years since Josh took his own life. Not a day goes by where I don’t think about him and pray for his soul. I’ve seen and experienced firsthand what someone taking their own life does not only to that persons family but to so many more close to him. This is why we need to be there for each other. We need to be kind to people. You can’t be afraid to prioritize your own well being. You may think you know someone well, but I guarantee you don’t truly know what that persons going through. Josh may be physically gone, but his memory lives on forever. In just over three weeks, I will make sure I make him proud as I run 100 miles for the foundation created in his memory to help educate others about mental illness to help prevent other families and communities from suffering what Josh’s family and close others have suffered from. Please pray for his soul and his family today.” - Via
