Flag City Backyard Ultra
The Flag City Backyard Ultra is a last person standing race at Findlay Reservoir (East Side) in Findlay, OH on October 3, 2026. The format requires runners to complete a 4.3 mile loop each hour; when only one runner finishes a loop alone that runner is the winner and all others are recorded as DNF. This event is a Backyard Ultra Bronze Ticket event and the winner earns a Bronze Ticket invitation opportunity.
The course is a simple loop around the reservoir with zero elevation gain, no mud, and no roots. The route has no shortcuts and is designed so navigation is straightforward.
The race is self supported. No food, drink, or supplies will be provided during the race, and competitors are expected to be prepared for changing conditions; headlamps are recommended. Professional timing and live coverage will be provided, with ankle and bib tags for tracking, live results online, and an event stream. All entrants receive a technical shirt.
Parking is available on the grass at the base of the reservoir. Vehicles may drive to the top of the reservoir to drop off participants but may not remain there. Camping is permitted the night before with city permission; porta‑johns will be on site but there is no running water.
Entry fee is listed at USD 58.50. All entry fees are non refundable and non transferable. After expenses, remaining funds will be donated to Habitat for Humanity. Registration closes September 3, 2026. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
