Little Bitty Backyard

Little Bitty Backyard will be at the Wildlands Conservancy South Mountain Preserve in Emmaus, PA. This is a last man (woman or non-binary) standing event, meaning it goes on until everyone else fails or quits. The loop will be done every hour on the hour. You miss your start time for the next loop, you’re out. Until then, there is no end.

Unlike most backyard ultras, this one packs a bit more of a punch. The loop we have selected for this event is about 4.4 miles with 550+ ft of elevation change over quite challenging terrain. We can confidently say this will be a smidge harder than what we know to be the standard for a backyard.

The first loop will start at 7AM on June 13th, 2026. The last loop… we’ll find out.

Returning during this multi-day event is our favorite nighttime race, Blackout! Do you want to test yourself on one loop of the backyard course at night? This will kick off at 8:30 p.m., over 12 hours into Little Bitty Backyard.
