What makes this race special?

Heart of the Dolomites

Toblach – UNESCO World Heritage backdrop, start at the Nordic Arena, loop toward Lake Toblach.

Backyard format

6.71 km every hour on the hour. Miss a loop, you’re out. Last runner standing wins.

Honest community

No hype, no glitter. Central team zone, shared start line, shared suffering.

200 spots

A maximum of 200 starting spots. Personal, family-style vibe instead of a mass start.

From the night of 2026

The challenge itself, and that you even put it on — top-notch. And Günther on the mic, cool guy. Really it was one long "journey" where you met new people and got to talk with like-minded runners.

Marc 24 Loops · 2026

The atmosphere in the camp, the small talk with different runners on every loop — the whole mood was great.

Participant 16 Loops · 2026

The whole day was unforgettable – the team was friendly and helpful the entire time. The organisation of the event was TOP.

Participant 11 Loops · 2026

I'd live the whole day all over again - THANK YOU for planning and running the Backyard Ultra so perfectly! Already looking forward to 2027! :)
