5th Annual Prairie on Fire Backyard Ultra
MTC and Hamilton County parks are proud to present Prairie on Fire, a Backyard Ultra experience like you've never had, unless you've been with us before. 2026 is slated to be our biggest year yet with improvements to every facet of runner experience.If you're here reading this and don't understand the Backyard Ultra concept, here is an explanation:Our race begins at 8 am, so at 8am, you would take off to complete a 4.167mi loop in an hour. If you complete the loop, you can line up at the starting line again at 9 am to attempt a second loop of the same distance within the same time limit. If you can complete that, you can line up again at 10 am, and so on, until only one person is left standing.Even though we're continuing to push the boundaries of what's possible (with 20+ runners over 100mi in 2025), we encourage and welcome all runner experience levels as we know you'll find your new "possible".--------------------------------------The 2026 event is slated to take place at 8am on Sept. 12th at White River Campground and will feature a 4.167mi dirt and gravel day loop through Koteewi Park followed by a 4.167mi paved trail out and back along E 234th st (identical or very similar to last years courses). It will continue until only one is left standing.
Event's current local time: 4:26 AM ET

The conflicts that America has faced, in fighting for our freedom, have often seemed insurmountable. If you look at the terrain and landscapes where our military has fought, it would make your heart sink in fear. But, our military has always stood strong and valiant in the face of such fears. They have shown the world what the meaning of brave truly is.
It is with this in mind, that we have created an obstacle course with a diverse set of “landscapes”, that represents just a handful of the types of topographies that our military have fought over and through. This is a way of honoring their dedication and sacrifice.
