A Backyard Ultra is also known as a Last Person Standing Race, but don’t let this deter you from joining the fun! Complete 4.17 miles of dirt road and single track trail every hour on the Spurline Trail system in Durango. Each 4.17 mile loop is referred to as a “yard.” If you finish in less than an hour- kick your feet up and snack until you line back up in the corral at the top of the hour to start again. Hour after hour, racers continue to line up until they tap out of the race or time out on a yard. The race is over when there is one runner remaining- that person must successfully complete one more hour to secure the win.

Backyard races are for everyone! Complete just one yard, set a distance PR, or come out and compete for the win. Who will be the Durango Trails Backyard champion?!
