About
Get ready to lace up for the Anderson Lake Backyard Ultra, an inclusive, 24-hour capped race that's all about camaraderie over competition! It's the perfect mix of challenge and chill, where you run a 4.167-mile loop every hour and decide how far you push yourself. This ultra is your story to write – whether conquering one loop or braving all 24!
Remember, you'll need to catch the shuttle for a stress-free commute to the event, as there's no on-site parking this year. At Basecamp, make yourself at home, but keep fires out and pets leashed. And when dusk falls, don't forget your headlamp!
Come join a community that's part race, part retreat. We welcome every level, every pace, so come for the run, linger for the fun, and leave with memories, mates, and maybe even a medal. What are you waiting for? Join the fun, test your endurance, and soak in the nature vibes with us!
