Organiser's Description
One Loop. Every Hour. Last Runner Standing. 30 Hour Limit.
Welcome to the ultimate test of grit, strategy, and stubborn joy. The Backyard Ultra format is simple and thats what makes it brutal. Runners complete a loop every hour on the hour. Miss the cutoff, and youre out. Keep going until only one runner remains.
This isnt just a race. Its a battle of willpower, community, and the quiet voice inside that says one more loop.
THE DETAILS
THE DATE: May 30, 2026 @ 8 am
THE LOOP: 3 1/3 mile course designed to challenge without breaking you until it does.
THE CLOCK: A new loop starts every hour. If youre not in the starting corral when the bell rings, your race is over.
THE GOAL: Outlast everyone else. There is no finish line only the last runner standing after 30 hours. Hey the RD needs sleep, too! In the event that multiple runners finish all 30 hours, the runner who crosses the line first on the final lap is the winner.
THE SPIRIT: Equal parts competition and camaraderie. Youll suffer, laugh, and share miles with people who understand why this matters.
THE CALORIES: As this is a 30-hr event and each person has their own individual nutritional needs, we encourage you to bring what you know works for you. We will provide simple items like water, Mapleaid, fruit, candy, chips, pickles, coffee, etc. Additionally, to keep the intimate nature of this event, we invite you to bring food for a communal aid station table. Do you make killer brownies? Are your chocolate chip cookies better than Mama Kapfer's? Do you live on a fruit farm and have an abundance? Are you a gnocchi fan? Bring it all! Additionally, we will provide pizza at some point in the evening for those who are still making laps. We will have some cups, but please bring your own to cut down on waste.
