Queeny Backyard Ultra

Summon your ultimate endurance for a true test of will at the relentless Queeny Backyard Ultra on March 6, 2026. This Last Person Standing event in St. Louis's Queeny Park begins at 10:00 AM, where runners must complete a 4.167-mile loop every hour until only one remains. Presented by Terrain Trail Runners-STL, this unique format is a Silver Ticket qualifier, granting the sole victor a coveted spot in the "World Team Competition" at Big's Backyard Ultra. The communal basecamp atmosphere, complete with weekend camping and post-race camaraderie, transforms the park into a crucible of physical and mental fortitude, where strategy is as crucial as stamina.

Beyond the quest for the Silver Ticket, every participant is honored for their mileage, with exclusive Bronze, Silver, and Gold Challenge Coins awarded for reaching significant loop milestones from 50 to 100+ miles. The event proudly partners with the Trail Mix Fund to remove financial barriers and promote diversity, ensuring the trail community is welcoming to all. More than a race, it's a shared human experiment in resilience, where the true victory lies in discovering your personal limit. Prepare for an unforgettable journey where the clock is your only true opponent, and every completed loop writes a new chapter in your ultra-running story.
