Among The Pines Backyard Ultra is a last runner standing trail event held on woodland and forest trails, using the classic backyard ultra format. Runners complete a loop every hour, returning to the start each time before heading back out onto the course.
The route features mixed off road terrain including forest tracks, gravel paths and woodland trails, with changing conditions as the race continues through day and night. The format creates a steady rhythm of running and recovery, with the challenge building over time rather than through outright speed.
This trail running event is suited to runners looking for an endurance challenge in a natural setting, combining long distance trail running with the unique atmosphere and community feel of a backyard ultra.
