Description
$1,000 cash prize + buckles for 100 milers!
Our race takes place just outside beautiful Estes Park Colorado at a private camp.
The Backyard Ultra is a form of Ultra Trail race where runners must complete 4.167 miles in less than one hour, every hour, until only one runner remains to complete a lap.
This runner is crowned the winner and only finisher, while all others will be marked as DNF. There is no predetermined end length or time - we go until only one remains.....
Our preferred lodging is the Estes Park Quality Inn - friend's of the race, locally owned and operated.
