Prairie Chaos Backyard Ultra - Winnipeg, MB
Prairie Chaos is a Backyard Ultra held at Little Mountain Park in the City of Winnipeg on Saturday, August 15, 2026. The course is a 6.7056 km (4.167 miles) trail loop that moves through open prairie and shaded forest. The route includes roots, rocks and some rolling terrain, and it passes close to an indoor lodge with flushing toilets, sinks and a small sheltered area with a water fountain.
The event follows the official Backyard Ultra format: each loop must be completed in less than one hour to qualify to start the next loop, and the event continues until only one runner remains. All entrants are entered in the At Large category for Big’s Backyard Ultra. Participants receive a bib, a pair of race socks, a race buff and a Did Not Finish medal; the sole winner will receive a distinctive prize. Each runner is allotted a personal station area by the start/finish corral for crew or tents. An aid station will provide water, an electrolyte drink, sweet and salty snacks and some warm food overnight, but supplies are limited so participants should plan their own hydration and nutrition needs. Parking includes a main lot of about 40 spaces near Farmer Road, additional parking off Klimpke Road and roadside parking along Farmer Road. The lodge is located near the start/finish and the course passes it early and late in each loop to allow washroom access. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
