Andy’s Backyard Ultra 2026 — Earlysville, VA
Andy's Backyard Ultra takes place at Teventrails in Earlysville, Virginia on October 24, 2026. This backyard ultra format starts at 7:00 AM with an entry fee of $100. Backyard ultras differ from traditional ultramarathons in their unique structure: runners complete a fixed loop course repeatedly, starting a new loop every hour on the hour. Runners continue until they either choose to stop or fail to complete a loop within the hour's time window. The format tests mental and physical endurance as athletes must decide when to drop or push forward for another lap. If you're considering a trip to compete, plan accordingly for early-morning departure and bring gear that works for an entire day and potentially into the evening of racing.
