Backyard Ultra is a last-one-standing event where participants run a loop of 6,7056 km every hour. The race is a creation of Lazarus Lake, race director of the Barkley Marathons and has now made its way to Belgium!
We are pleased to announce the fourth edition of the Legends Backyard Ultra which will start on April 26th 2025. Curious to find out how many loops you can run on our course at Domein Beverdonk in Retie? Register now!
In 2025 our race is not a Silver Ticket race, but the undboubtedly very strong field should make it a possibility to earn a spot on Team Belgium at the National Championship/ World Team Championship in October 2026, or even Big’s in 2025. The strong field of participants and the fast course give you an excellent chance of achieving your goals!
