Run until one remains, in someone's actual backyard

Highlights

  • Race literally starts in the director's own backyard.

  • Run 6.7 km loops hourly — only one winner survives.

  • Earn your shot at the Backyard Ultra World Championships.

  • Dirt, grass, single-track trails with moose, deer, and bears.

  • Push through darkness with headlamps on night-time loops.
