Prepare to test your limits at Manitoba's exclusive Backyard Ultra, the Old Tom Backyard, where endurance meets challenge! Set on a working family farm near Blumenort, this race features a cozy staging area sheltered in an open-sided pole shed, providing a welcoming space for crews and spectators, as well as room for personalized aid stations or tents. The race course is designed for both day and night. The daytime loop, running from dawn until nightfall, offers a scenic mix of meandering singletrack through wooded areas and grassy pastures. Once the sun sets, participants will navigate a gravel road loop that stretches in an out-and-back format, creating a unique experience under the stars.
