Cyprus Backyard Ultra

Enter the ultimate test of mental and physical resilience at the inaugural Cyprus Backyard Ultra on Saturday, March 14, 2026. This groundbreaking last-person-standing event challenges runners to complete a relentless 6.706km loop every hour, starting on the hour, until only one athlete remains. Set against the stunning landscapes of Cyprus, the race strips running down to its rawest form, where strategy, pacing, and sheer willpower are your only tools for survival.

Inspired by the global Backyard Ultra format, this event is a true elimination battle where there is no set finish line or distance—only the next loop. The true adversary is not your competitors, but the accumulating fatigue and the psychological game of the hourly start bell. Prepare for a unique and grueling adventure that promises camaraderie, suffering, and an unforgettable chapter in endurance history, where victory is defined simply by being the last runner left willing to take one more step.
