Backyard Sant Salvador - Tarragona 2026

Backyard Tarragona is an innovative running challenge that invites participants to complete multiple laps around a 6.7-kilometer loop within the span of 60 minutes, with subsequent starts given every hour until only one runner remains or no additional runners choose to start anew. This unique format emphasizes endurance and camaraderie among runners.
The event takes place at the Centre Cívic de Sant Salvador but due to limited space indoors, participants are encouraged to utilize outdoor areas for their runs, especially during early laps when more runners might be active on the course. Each runner is responsible for bringing all necessary items such as water bottles, snacks, chairs, or tables if they wish to rest between laps.
The atmosphere at Backyard Tarragona fosters a sense of community and friendly competition. Runners are advised to maintain a comfortable pace around each lap rather than focusing solely on speed since the winner is determined by who can persist longest in completing full circuits. The event encourages participants to engage with others, making it an ideal opportunity for runners from various backgrounds to connect.
Collaboration plays a crucial role here; no runner may continue beyond their initial start time unless accompanied by another participant. This collaborative spirit not only enhances the overall experience but also helps individuals achieve new personal bests through mutual support and encouragement.
Participants are reminded that there is no set limit on laps or finish line, making this event as challenging—or rewarding—as one makes it based on their own stamina and desire to keep going. With its emphasis on community engagement and individual perseverance, Backyard Tarragona offers a unique twist on traditional running events, inviting runners of all levels to test the limits of what they can achieve through sustained effort.
