What’s the concept?

A play on the increasingly popular “backyard ultra” format, opting for a timed race and a choose-your-own-adventure approach. You’re a finisher if you complete at least a single 5K loop.

The race is put on by Human Race Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and ALL race registration fees are donated to supporting childrens cancer research and support.

What are the details?

There are no hard cutoffs until the end of the event. The Baby Backyard ULTRA is a Choose Your Own Adventure event as well. You can come by at any time and run a 5K, or 10K, or swoop in to join for the final victory lap that will bring us to 50K, whatever distance you want.

The date is set for August 8, 2026. Full details for the 2026 event will be posted to the Human Race Inc website along with how to register.
