Saturday, March 7, 2026.

This race has it all and is right in Austin’s backyard. With over six miles of real trails surrounded by woods and streams, you will forget you are in the heart of one of the largest cities in Texas. The course features single tracks, rolling hills, fast downhills, and the Tejas Trails spirit. There’s nothing boring about it.

This race is made possible by the great work of Great Springs Project. Don’t know what that is yet? Check out this link or just come to the race to learn how the Edwards Aquifer beneath these trails is crucial for providing sustainable clean water to our growing cities. We are incredibly proud to support their impressive efforts through this trail race!

While every racer will get some cool swag, February 10 is the deadline to get a shirt.

Texas Hill Country Paradise

Nestled in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, our event takes place near Lago Vista, just 30 miles northwest of Austin. The course winds around a peninsula jutting into Lake Travis, offering stunning water views and the natural beauty of Central Texas. Experience the perfect blend of challenging terrain and breathtaking landscapes that will keep you motivated hour after hour.

Join us for Austin's Backyard Marathon & Memorial Day Remembrance Run, a unique endurance event that allows you to push your limits in the beautiful Hill Country. This officially sanctioned Backyard Ultra is not just a race, it's a test of mental fortitude, strategic pacing, and physical endurance that will challenge you in ways you've never experienced.

The Backyard Ultra Format

Last Person Standing Challenge

This is an officially sanctioned Backyard Ultra. Complete each 4.167-mile loop within 60 minutes to continue. A new loop starts at the top of each hour.

Following our successful 2025 inaugural event, we are working toward Bronze Ticket qualifying status for 2026. Check back for updates on our certification progress!

Memorial Day Remembrance Run

Set Your Own Challenge for a Memorial Day Remembrance Run

While the last runner standing wins the overall championship and qualifying spot, you're welcome to participate according to your own goals. Many runners choose to complete a specific number of loops rather than competing in the last-person-standing challenge.

You'll earn recognition based on your achievement: Complete 1 loop (4-miles) for a woodallion, 4 loops for half marathon medal, 7 loops for marathon medal, or 8+ loops for ultra medal. Simply notify race staff when you've reached your personal goal.

The Rules for the Last Runner Standing Are Simple
- The course is a 4.167-mile (6.706 km) loop
- A new loop starts at the top of each hour
- Participants must complete each loop within the hour to continue
- Runners are eliminated if they fail to complete a loop in time or choose not to start the next loop
- The last person to complete a loop is declared the overall winner

Why Choose This Race?

Fast, PR-Friendly USATF Certified Marathon Course (Boston Qualifier)

Unlike typical Texas summer ultras with brutal heat and technical trails, our smooth asphalt loop with minimal elevation gain creates ideal conditions for record-setting performances. This is a USATF-certified course: Certification code: TX25015LAB.

Evening Start Format

Race as the sun sets and July's magnificent Buck Moon rises over the limestone bluffs. Our strategic evening start times for longer distances mean cooler temperatures when you need it most.

Pacers Allowed

While we won't be providing official pacing groups for the Austin Solstice Circuit Challenge due to our size, we enthusiastically welcome personal pacers for both the Marathon, 50K and 52.7 Mile Solo events. Personal pacers can join Marathon and 50K participants after 8 loops and 52.7 Mile runners after 16 loops (approximately halfway points). Each pacer must pay a $15 fee that covers park entry, administrative costs, and an official pacer bib. Pacers need to sign a waiver and wear their designated "PACER" bib while on course. Runners are responsible for arranging their own pacers, but the loop format makes it particularly convenient for your support crew to join when you need them most. We find this flexibility is especially appreciated by first-time marathoners and ultra runners who benefit from personalized support during the challenging later miles as day turns to evening.

Pickup Information:

Saturday Packet Pickup:

Available from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM.

Race Day Pickup:

For those unable to attend on Saturday or who prefer to pick up on race day, same-day packet pickup will be available Sunday morning from 5:30 AM to 6:30 AM.

Carpe Diem 60

One Hour. One Sunrise. Start your day with purpose.

Carpe Diem 60 is a 60-minute sunrise endurance challenge on this out-and-back course. At 6:00 AM, you’ll have one hour to cover as much distance as possible with early morning focus. Most Distance Covered Wins

Beat the heat. Seize the morning. Earn your day.

Course Details

The distinctive figure-8 course winds through the breathtaking Hill Country landscape of Pace Bend Park, featuring limestone bluffs, majestic oak trees, and views of Lake Travis. The smooth asphalt surface throughout makes it perfect for both day and night running, with the main loop connecting to a smaller upper loop.
- Surface: 100% smooth, paved asphalt – ideal for consistent pacing

September 12, 2026.

Get your friends and family, and join in on this close to Austin and San Antonio lake party and trail run! The finish line arch will be as close to the edge of Lake Travis as we can get it (Austin area’s famed lake boasting over 9 miles of shoreline)! So when you finish you can cruise straight into the water to cool off and start your floating post-race party! This means, as the lake rises and falls each year, the distance will possibly slightly change, so we'll add "ish" to each distance...and that's perfect when everything and everyone stays mellow.

We’re incredibly thankful for the support of this race by the Travis County Parks Foundation!

While every racer will get some cool swag, August 18 is the deadline to get a shirt.

During registration, we are collecting $10 for one day of access to the park. If runners are staying for more than one day, they will have to pay additional amounts upon entering the park.
