2027 Soil Mates Backyard Ultra

Race Information

Soil Mates Backyard Ultra covers a 4.167-mile loop (aka a Yard) and around 375 feet of elevation gain through pastures and woods. Each runner has one hour to complete each Yard and return to the starting corral. If you are not in the starting corral when the next Yard starts at the top of each hour, your race is over. The race is over when one runner finishes a lap solo. The race continues indefinitely if two or more runners are still reaching the cutoff time and making it back into the starting corral each loop.
