The Format

What is a Backyard Ultra?

A backyard ultramarathon is a unique race format where runners complete a 4.167‑mile loop every hour, on the hour. The race continues until only one runner remains.

Each lap contains:

  • 4.167 miles of mixed terrain trails
  • Technical sections and mountain views
  • Elevation changes through the course
  • Aid station at start/finish

There are no winners, only survivors. It's you against yourself, the mountain, and time itself.
