2026 Backyard Ultra in New Town

The 2nd Annual Backyard Ultra Marathon at New Town features a last-person-standing format where runners complete a 4.17-mile loop every hour. Finish within the hour and you're eligible to start the next one. New for 2026: a 2.6-mile weighted rucking division. Registration is $25 plus $1 per loop attempted. All participants who complete at least one lap receive a custom New Town Ultra DNF token. Proceeds benefit MSMDS research and support, specifically helping Braxley, a three-year-old living with this rare genetic disease. https://runsignup.com/Race/MO/SaintCharles/BackyardUltraNewTown
