The Oldman Backyard Ultra

The Oldman Backyard Ultra is a unique endurance running event held near the Oldman River in Lethbridge, Alberta, featuring a 6.7 km loop course through rolling coulees. As one of Alberta's first Backyard Ultras and a 2026 Silver Ticket event in Canada, it challenges runners to complete laps every hour on the hour until only one remains. Participants can run as many laps as they wish, with the race emphasizing community and personal limits over pace.

The event supports Youth One, a local nonprofit providing mentorship and support for teens. It offers a memorable experience in a scenic setting with a strong charitable focus. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
