Signup Issues

Hi folks

An update - we think we have the signup payment issues resolved with Stripe.

We have moved the registration open time to 12:00 PM Thursday Oct 31st (although the site says 12:30 - its actually 12:00 - there is an issue with NST). We would like to thank you for your patience - as frustrating as these signup issues are for you as a runner, it has been equally frustrating for us as directors as we are super excited to get this 2025 PBU started and providing you an awesome backyard experience.

PBU Merchandise

Hello PBU Participants, Volunteers and Fans!

Once again we are now able to offer custom, made to order, PBU t-shirts and hats available for purchase at the Outfitters Online Shop.
Orders from The Outfitters and Augusta Sportswear will be placed periodically as minimum quantities are reached, leading up to and after the 2025 Paradise Backyard Ultra!

Since this is a non for profit event (with any proceeds being donated to the East Coast Trail Association and a charity of the choice by the Town of Paradise), we kept the registration costs down as low as possible... enough to cover the race basics (race insurance, bibs, timing, first aid, security.. etc) - but wanted to offer participants and the general public an opportunity to buy a hat or t-shirt. Again, these products have no markups to keep costs down. For the shirts, we also are offering the option to add your name to the back at no extra charge (look for the field to fill out when selecting your shirt size and placing your order).

We are planning to do Multiple Orders. Please place your order by March 31st to give us enough time to get the gear in for race day; and we will also offer another deadline shortly after the race - for people who decide they may have missed out and want a piece of history.

Stay tuned for more exciting news over the upcoming weeks.
