Backyard Ultra Solidaire

Backyard Ultra Solidaire

Backyard Ultra Solidaire is a looped running event held at Parc des Sommets Bromont, 44 Chem. des Carrières, Bromont QC J2L 1J6, Canada. The course is organized as repeated loops of 5.2 km with 133 m of elevation gain per loop and a single loop configuration repeated over a 24 hour period. The event is presented by Parc des Sommets and includes on site fueling by Xact Nutrition.

The event offers two distinct formats. The official "U" format requires each loop to be completed in less than one hour with a horn marking the start of each hour; missing a start, skipping a loop, or exceeding the time ends a participant's run in the "U" format while allowing continuation in the "S" format. The last participant remaining in the "U" format wins; if multiple participants finish the same final loop, the fastest on that loop is ranked higher. Loop recording is mandatory for ranking.

The "S" format allows participants to complete loops at their own pace without elimination while still recording each loop. This format emphasizes collective participation and supports fundraising aims without pressure of competition.

Registration fee is 55 dollars and includes bib, parking, campground and sanitation access, fueling by Xact Nutrition during the 24 hours, park access, and event goodies. Minimum age to participate is 15 with parental consent required for minors. The event requires acceptance of a standard liability and medical waiver, allows photography and video use, and notes that one dollar per loop will be donated to L'Effet BU to support partner causes.
