Manotick Backyard Ultra
The Manotick Backyard Ultra takes place in Manotick, Ontario, on October 3, 2026. The event is produced by InStride Running in collaboration with 692 Coffee & Bar and community organizers. The information states that registration is open.
The race uses the backyard ultra format, built around a loop that is repeated as long as each runner continues. This format emphasizes repeating the same course and community support among participants rather than an individual performance alone. Loops are cheered by volunteers, neighbors, and spectators, and the communal aspect is described as central to the event.
The event traces its origins to the idea of creating a community gathering place. The narrative explains that the related coffee shop was established in 2019 and became a regular meeting point for neighbors. The Manotick Backyard Ultra is presented as a running event that aims to bring people together, celebrate mutual support, and connect runners with local community life.
