Rodeo Backyard Ultra : Austin, Texas
The Rodeo Backyard Ultra is part of an event weekend in Spicewood, Texas, held on March 14, 2026. It is a small, timed endurance event with a capped field of 20–25 runners.
Runners start a loop of 4.167 miles (6.706 km) every hour. They must complete the loop within the hour to continue racing. The format is "Last One Standing," where the race continues until only one runner remains. The course is an out-and-back on Texas Hill Country terrain, described as rocky, steep, and technical, with loose rock, steep climbs, and uneven footing.
Participation details include an initial registration price of $119.99. Finishers who complete three loops (over 13 miles) receive a runner’s buckle. There is also a special Gladiator Award for completing 100 miles in under 24 hours. A self-check system at the halfway point involves moving a token on a pegboard after performing a symbolic action. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
