## Resource

Nikolay is the race organiser of Biotropika Backyard Ultra in Russia. Biotropika was run a few weeks ago now and is definitely the most controversial race in Backyard Ultra history. After both the male and female Backyard Ultra world records were broken, the format's creator and decision maker Gary Cantrell announced the entire race as void due to a breach in how the rules were followed.
