Falsterbo Backyard Ultra SUMMER

Welcome to the Falsterbo Backyard Summer Edition, one of Scandinavia's most unique and challenging running events. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Skåne coastline near Falsterbo, this race is not just about covering distance; it’s a test of endurance and mental fortitude.
The event features a loop course measuring 6.7 kilometers that runners complete every hour on the hour for up to 24 hours. Each lap offers a mix of trail running through lush forests, navigating challenging terrains, and enjoying scenic stretches along the coast. With an elevation gain of approximately 30 meters per loop, participants will experience both serene beauty and tough ascents.
The course is illuminated with headlamps required for runners once darkness sets in, adding another layer to the challenge as you push your limits under moonlit skies or starry nights. The race format allows each runner to compete based on their individual capacity, making it a deeply personal test of willpower and stamina.
In addition to the physical demands, Falsterbo Backyard Summer Edition offers runners an immersive experience with plentiful food options ranging from fresh fruit, cookies, chips, candy, and more. Participants are encouraged to bring additional snacks for energy throughout the race. A barbecue featuring grilled sausages is scheduled starting at 2:00 PM.
The event takes place on September 12, 2026, with a start time of 10:00 AM at Strandbadsvägen 30 in Falsterbo. Registration and briefing begin early that morning from 8:30 AM onwards. The race is limited to a certain number of participants, making it exclusive yet inclusive for those who wish to test their limits.
Runners will be provided with free sports drinks, coffee, and water throughout the event day. Additionally, all runners receive a goodie bag upon registration, while medals are guaranteed to every finisher. Those interested in custom T-shirts can purchase them at an additional cost.
