Backyard ultras are a different beast altogether. Unlike regular races with a fixed distance, the backyard format is about persistence, pacing, and mental strength. But the beauty of the backyard model is that it’s flexible, you don’t have to run 100 miles to experience it.
At the Coimbatore Backyard Ultra, we’ve designed four categories to help runners of all levels find their own challenge. Whether you’re here to test your endurance, enjoy a shorter loop, or compete as a team, there’s a category for you.
Here’s a breakdown to help you decide:
Still confused?
Backyard running is about finding your edge — whether that’s 4 loops or 40 loops. Each category offers something different:
- Backyard Ultra: Pure endurance, no finish line.
- Backyard Ultra Individual Cum Team Championship: Run for yourself, run for your team.
- Backyard 15: Break the 100 km milestone.
- Backyard 8: Break the 50 km milestone
- Backyard 4: A fun and friendly entry point.
No matter which you choose, you’ll walk away with more than just kilo-meters. You’ll experience the community, resilience, and thrill that backyard ultras are built on.
