Estes Park's Backyard Ultra

​​The Backyard Ultra with the views.
Come run beautiful Lake Estes while supporting Childcare and Family Services in Estes Park.

The Backyard Ultra is a form of Ultra 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.....

Due to the location of our venue each yard will be 4.252 miles rather than the standard 4.167

Swag

All participants will receive a custom Fractel hat, stocked aid station, up to 10x10 space in the athlete village and a special DNF or finishers award.
