Backyard Ultra is a competition format for ultrarunning where runners complete a distance of 6.7 kilometers every hour, as many times as possible. Only the last runner to reach the start line and complete the lap wins, while all others are disqualified.

It is a challenging and mental sport where endurance and resilience are put to the test.

  • The race is affiliated with the international association for backyard ultras and follows established rules.
  • Participants receive 5 to 15 minutes of rest per lap, allowing for energy intake and body care.
