Manotick Backyard Ultra

Manotick Backyard Ultra is an endurance running event held in Manotick, Ontario, starting from 692 Coffee and Bar at 5546 Manotick Main Street. The Backyard Ultra format emphasizes grit over speed, with loops through the town that blend road and trail, including bridges over streams and park sections with tarmac underfoot. The weekend also features a 5K and a Family 1K, with 50% of Family 1K registrations donated to CHEO Children's Hospital.

There is no second place and no finish line—just the end of the loop for the last runner. Date: October 4, 2025. Maps and route details are available on the event website. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
