BC Backyard Ultra

Nestled within the Traditional Territory of the Southern Secwepemc First Nation, Sicamous Public Beach Park plays host to the final edition of BC Backyard Ultra on April 23, 2027. This unique race format challenges runners with a series of one-mile loops that continue until only one competitor remains standing. The trails here are not just paths but gateways into breathtaking natural landscapes preserved by indigenous heritage. Each lap brings participants back to the starting point, fostering a sense of community and camaraderie among racers as they push their limits together.
The event is part of both the Canadian Championship Series and Big Dog’s Backyard Ultra World Championship, making it a significant milestone for top athletes across Canada. As this marks BC Backyard Ultra's sixth and final year, there's an added layer of nostalgia and celebration. The race offers runners the chance to experience the beauty and tranquility of these historic trails while engaging in a deeply personal challenge.
Registration opens on October 1, 2026 at 6:00 PM MST for this once-in-a-lifetime event. With limited spots available, interested participants are encouraged to secure their place early to be part of an unforgettable day in Sicamous.
