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 trail course, with 200' of elevation gain. Course map can be found here. [https://ridewithgps.com/routes/54870529]
THE CLOCK: A new loop starts every hour. If youre not in the starting corral when the bell rings, your race is over.
LIVE ONLINE TRACKING: Want to share your progress with friends and family in real-time? We got you covered!
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. Unique to our event, we will keep the event going for the final runner if they want to continue to 100 miles/30 hours.
MILESTONE AWARDS: Even though there is only one winner, we will recognize participants who complete milestone distances 1/2 Marathon, Marathon, 50k, 50 mile, 100k, 100 mile with a sweet patch.
THE SPIRIT: Equal parts competition and camaraderie. Youll suffer, laugh, and share miles with people who understand why this matters.
RUNNERS AREA: Each runner will have their own personal 12' x 12' area near the starting line.
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 have a Runner-only Aid Station Table and provide simple items like water, electrolyte drink, 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 that will be open to all runners, crew, etc. Do you make killer brownies? Are your chocolate chip cookies better than Mama Kapfers? 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.
