Austins Backyard Marathon
Austins Backyard Marathon is scheduled for May 23, 2026 in Central Texas. The event combines personal goal setting with a last person standing format in which participants run repeated loops until only one remains or until they stop.
Runners complete repeated 4.167 mile (6.7 km) loops. Medals are available for half marathon, marathon, and ultra distances; everyone who completes at least one loop receives a medal. Progress is measured by the number of full loops each participant completes.
The event is presented by Fit Foundation and is described as an endurance-format run held in the Austin area. The description emphasizes the loop distance and the last person standing structure rather than a fixed race distance; participants set and pursue their own distance goals within that format.
