Prairie On Fire Backyard Ultra
Prairie On Fire Backyard Ultra is scheduled for September 12, 2026 in Noblesville, Indiana. It is presented as the event's fifth annual running and takes place at White River Campground with course sections through Koteewi Park and along E 234th Street.
The event follows the Backyard Ultra format: runners complete a 4.167 mile loop and have one hour to finish each loop. Runners who complete a loop may begin another loop; the sequence repeats until only one participant remains. The course combines a dirt and gravel day loop through Koteewi Park followed by a 4.167 mile paved trail out and back along E 234th Street. Organizers indicate the 2026 layout will be identical or very similar to prior years.
Information published by the organizer notes planned improvements to various aspects of the runner experience and references previous years with multiple runners completing long distances. Registration for the event closes on September 10, 2026. The event is listed in connection with Hamilton County parks and the hosting organization MTC.
