Austria Backyard Ultra - Kirchdorf in Tirol 2026

Experience the Austria Backyard Ultra, taking place in the scenic landscapes of Tirol on September 19, 2026. This unique endurance race follows the simple yet challenging format of the American original: every hour, participants run a precisely measured 6.706-kilometer loop. To stay in the competition, runners must complete each lap within an exact one-hour timeframe and return to the starting line on time. The event continues until only one runner remains.
The Austria Backyard Ultra offers more than just solo challenges; it also features a team component called the Team Challenge. By forming groups of three with identical team names (accuracy in spelling is crucial), participants can support each other, share strategies, and push for peak performance together.
Safety is paramount at this event, especially given current uncertainties. For an extra fee of €5, runners can opt into the BE SAFE program, which allows them to cancel their entry without providing a reason by August 19, 2026, ensuring they receive a full refund of their registration fees.
Set against the stunning backdrop of Tirol’s natural beauty, this event promises an unforgettable experience for endurance enthusiasts looking to test their limits and enjoy camaraderie among fellow runners.
