Soil Mates Backyard Ultra

Soil Mates Backyard Ultra in Thomaston, GA is a Last One Standing style event held on February 13, 2027. The main race uses a measured loop of 4.167 miles (approximately 6.706 km) with about 350 feet of elevation gain through pastures and forest. Each lap must be completed within one hour to count, and the event continues until one runner completes a lap alone.

The course surface is about 60% pasture on a five foot path marked by guide ropes and arrows, and about 40% single track forest trails with roots and rocks. The start and finish area is in a large open pasture with room for parking and crew set up near the corral. Participants may drive to a tent or canopy to drop supplies then move cars to pasture parking. Porta potties and water refill access will be near the start area. The event is cupless; runners must bring their own handheld bottle or hydration pack.

Two race options are listed:

• Soil Mates Backyard Ultra : repeated 4.167 mile laps, 100 runner limit.
• One Yard : a single 4.167 mile lap, 50 runner limit.

Early entry is listed at $60 and Last One Standing registration may close after the first 60 runners register or on November 15, whichever comes first. Free camping is allowed the night before. Performances are eligible for affiliated Backyard championships and a buckle is awarded for 24 Yards or 100 miles. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
