Backyard Ultra Race

The Backyard Ultra Race challenges you to run a 6.7-kilometer loop with 248 meters elevation gain each hour, repeating until one runner remains. Set against the backdrop of the Eiger, the course takes you through Grindelwald’s most scenic and technically demanding trails. This race isn’t just about speed—it’s a test of endurance and mental strength, lasting as long as you can keep moving. Whether you’re an experienced trail runner or aiming to push your limits, this event offers a unique way to measure your stamina. Each loop offers a fresh chance to gauge your pace and strategy, with the mountain’s changing light and terrain adding variety to the challenge. The format creates a rhythm that’s as much about patience as power, inviting you to find your own flow. You’ll be part of a group sharing the same goal, but the race becomes a personal journey against the clock and trail. It’s a demanding experience that rewards persistence and focus, with every lap feeling like a small victory.
