Run Bermuda's Backyard

Test the absolute limits of your will on a stunning island course at the Bermuda Backyard Ultra: February 21, 2026, a silver-ticket qualifying event beginning at 9:00 AM from Clearwater Beach. This unique race follows the captivating "last runner standing" format, where you must complete a 4.167-mile "yard" within each hour, stepping back to the start line until only one remains.

This is a race where speed is secondary to sheer perseverance, welcoming runners aiming for a single lap or those dreaming of surpassing the national record of 28 yards. The event is more than a personal trial; it's a pathway to the world stage, offering the winner qualification for the Bermuda National Team at the World Team Championships. Embrace the community spirit and unforgettable island views as you answer the ultimate question in your own backyard: can you run just one more loop?
