Backyard Ultra Barjots

The Backyard Ultra Barjots is a unique endurance running event held in Saint-Jean-de-Bournay, Isère. Participants must complete a 6.706-kilometer loop within one hour, with a new loop starting every hour until only one runner remains. This format challenges competitors to maintain their pace and stamina, as failure to finish the loop in time results in elimination.

The distance of 6.706 kilometers is designed to equate to 160 kilometers over 24 hours, mirroring the iconic 100-mile race in the United States. The event encourages runners to set personal challenges, whether it be a half marathon, marathon, or longer distances. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
