The Oldman Backyard Ultra
The event takes place in Lethbridge, Alberta, beside the Oldman River among rolling coulees. Runners follow a single loop of 6.7 km that must be completed within each hourly cutoff to start the next loop. Rules follow Backyard Ultra standards and the race acts as a qualifying event.
Registration includes multi day race entry, a premium racer garment from Rabbit, and a catered dinner (Pizza Party) on May 1 at Pavan. An aid station is provided on the course. The event is non profit and proceeds are directed to Youth One, a youth and family centre in Lethbridge that provides free, mentorship based out of school programs and support services for teens aged 11 to 18.
For every $1500 raised one youth s annual costs are covered; the event aims to fulfill 460 individual sponsorships this year. If a participant withdraws before April 13 a 50% rollover credit applies to the following year.
This is one of six Silver Ticket events in Canada in 2026. The last person standing receives automatic placement onto Team Canada. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
