In a city known for its beauty and vibrant spirit, we invite you to a race with no end in sight. Welcome to the Ljubljana Backyard Ultra, the ultimate test of endurance, strategy, and mental fortitude. There is no finish line. The only question is: how far can you go?
The concept strips running down to its purest form: your will to continue.

The Loop: A stunning 6.706-kilometer course designed for rhythm and endurance. The loop is exceptionally fast, running on 95% off-road surfaces with only a brief touch of asphalt. The terrain is almost entirely flat, with just a single, short climb of around 30 meters to keep your legs honest. Depending on the time of day, you’ll enjoy a perfect mix of sunny, open sections and cool, protective tree shade. This is a course built for making records.

The Challenge: The race continues through the day and into the night, hour after hour. It only ends when a single runner completes one final loop by themselves. This is the sole winner. For everyone else, the race ends with a DNF—not as a failure, but as a badge of honor marking the absolute limit you reached on the day. Our challenge as organizers is to create a race where every DNF is a victory, whether it’s a new personal best or a team effort in helping a fellow runner go one loop further.
Forget your personal bests. The philosophy here is simple: Dirty shoes, clear mind. It’s a race where physical grit leads to mental clarity.
The only thing that matters is answering the bell for just one more lap.
Your yard awaits.
