Prairie Nightmare Backyard Ultra

About the Event

Welcome to the Last Person Standing Ultra, where only one runner emerges victorious from this intense Backyard Ultra-style competition!
The race features a single 6.706 km loop course that weaves through gentle trails, offering runners a scenic and challenging route around your very own backyard setting. The event kicks off at precisely 8:00 am each hour, with participants required to complete their lap within the same timeframe.
For those new to Backyard Races or trail running, there's an introductory Prairie Daydream option available. This event allows you to experience a similar loop but gives you more flexibility in your start time—between 7:00 am and 3:00 pm, provided that other runners are present on the course by the end of their third hour.
The race continues until the last runner concedes or fails to finish within the allotted time. This creates a high-pressure yet exhilarating atmosphere as you compete against the clock and fellow participants.
Gear up for this unique event with designated areas where you can store your equipment, ensuring you have everything you need throughout the day. Camping is available on race weekend; feel free to set up camp from Friday night onwards without needing prior park authorization—just let us know upon arrival.
For those planning to use a trailer or tent/car camping, there's an additional $20 (race day) charge for trailers and $10 for tents/camping. Check-in with the race director at any point during the weekend to settle these fees.
This cupless event encourages runners to bring their own refillable bottles or cups. Remember to pack all your food and drink, as water is available but may be used sparingly due to park regulations.
Join us in this thrilling competition where strategy meets endurance on a course designed for both seasoned athletes and newcomers alike!
