Trails & Tarmac 12hr BackYard Ultra - Summer

Experience the Limitless Trails BYU Series as it returns on September 18, 2027, just outside Crickhowell in the scenic Black Mountains. This Backyard Ultra–style challenge features a unique blend of trail and tarmac with each loop covering approximately 4.2 miles. The course includes one gradual climb and a short punchy ascent amidst fast, runnable terrain that will test your endurance.
Runners must answer the bell from the starting corral every hour to complete their loops until only one remains standing. By finishing 32 miles, participants earn an ULTRA medal, while the last person left on course wins the coveted winner’s trophy. The event offers reliable timing and a welcoming HQ where water and snacks are available throughout.
Hot food is served after completing five laps, ensuring runners stay fueled for the long haul. Standard BYU rules apply: start each loop at the bell, finish within the hour, no poles allowed, yield to slower runners on course, and personal aid is not permitted while running. Supporters can join you at HQ but are restricted from entering the corral except in emergencies.
This event promises a thrilling atmosphere with stunning mountain scenery, making it an unforgettable challenge for trail runners seeking adventure and camaraderie.
