Momentus Backyard Ultra

Experience the ultimate endurance challenge or a fun, exclusive trail run at the scenic Williams Rushing Farm in Monroe NC, owned by NFL great DeAngelo Williams and local celebrity Ris Williams. With two exciting race options, you decide how far you’ll push yourself! 

Run Options: 
1) Momentus Back Yard Ultra
- The official Back Yard Ultra format: complete a 4.167-mile loop every hour, on the hour, until only one runner remains. 
- No set finish—outlast the competition, outlast yourself. 
- Test your mental and physical limits in this last-runner-standing event. 

2) Momentus Celebrity Fun Run
- A single 4.167-mile loop at a relaxed pace—run, ruck, jog, or walk. 
- Join local celebrities (lineup announced soon!) for a fun, community-driven race experience. 
- Perfect for those looking for a social, scenic run without the endurance challenge. 

The Course: 
- Intermediate difficulty with a mix of hard-packed dirt, roots, rocks, gravel, and manicured grass. 
- 100 feet of elevation gain per lap—just enough to keep it interesting! 
- Private farmland setting offering peaceful, natural surroundings.
