Big Dog's Backyard Ultra

Big Dog's Backyard Ultra

Big Dog's Backyard Ultra is a Last Man Standing backyard ultra held at the Big Farm-Short Creek in Bell Buckle, TN as a site of the World Backyard Ultra Team Championships on the third Saturday in October 2026. The event is one of multiple sites that will host team competition on that day.

Participation is restricted to athletes who qualified by winning silver ticket events or by placing among the top At Large performers in their nation over the previous two years. All athletes who have qualified by winning a silver ticket will be accepted at this time. The United States team will include the top 15 qualified American athletes who are citizens or permanent residents.

The qualifying period ends on August 15, 2026. Results are to be submitted and entered within a week after that date, at which point the At Large list will be finalized and all qualified athletes accepted. Organizers will confirm intentions with qualified athletes who have not applied so that available places can be offered to the next alternates. As the qualifying window closes, places may be offered to At Large athletes who have accumulated a sufficiently large number of yards; athletes who have equaled or exceeded 100 hours are being considered for acceptance.

Registration for this Big Dog site closes on September 1, 2026 at 11:59 PM CT. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
