  The new kid on the block in the world of Backyard Ultras for the SECOND year. An endurance race guaranteed to test the limits of anyone with the courage to step into the loop. A race not about speed but about who has the physical and mental grit to endure the longest. There is no second place, no finish line, just the end.

  Starting at the iconic 692 Coffee and Bar, the route will go through the beautiful and historic town of Manotick. Each loop for the Backyard Ultra will incorporate road and trail running; having runners take bridges over streams, run through parks, and endure tarmac underfoot.

  The 5K will welcome the competitive runner and the runner looking to challenge themselves. The Family 1K is a fun and exciting event for all ages and skill levels. Whether your first race or hundredth race it will be one to remember. 50% of the registration fee from the family 1K race will be donated to the CHEO Children's Hospital - The Griffin Bell Golden Endowment Fund.
