Old Tom Backyard
Course record: 55 yards (Nick Burmey, 2026).
Old Tom Backyard, Manitoba’s Backyard Ultra, debuted in 2024 on a farm outside Blumenort, Manitoba! The day loop features beautiful oak treed singletrack and open grassy cattle pastures while the night loop hits the gravel mile roads that Manitoba is known for. The 4.167 mile loop hourly race follows the format made famous by Laz and his Big’s Backyard Ultra. Co-race directed by a father-son team of trail running farmers, this race will push you to and beyond any idea of where you thought your limits were!
