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, continuing until only one runner remains. Participants can run as many laps as they wish, testing their limits in a supportive community atmosphere.

The event supports Youth One, a local nonprofit providing mentorship and services for teens. It offers a memorable experience combining competition, camaraderie, and charity. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
