Babbitt's Backyard ultra is full on true backyard style as invented by Lazarus Lake, a 6706 meter (4.167 mile) loop to be completed in less than an hour on the hour until one sole is left standing. The last looper must complete their lap for the title of, Last Man Standing! The course record set in 2020 is 19 loops a total of 79.173 miles, will you be the next to set a new course record? The winner of this race will move into the silver bracket to compete in the Tartarus Backyard for a chance at the individual world championships in  October 2023!

Babbitt's Backyard Ultra is just what it says, it's in the backyard of Babbitt Ranches of Northern Arizona. Since 1639 Babbitt Ranches have followed the Cowboy Essence in the Constitution of Babbitt Ranches, and they are big on nature conservation and community. Babbitt's is excited to have us use their private land for this iconic Backyard race!
