BIG BRETON BACKYARD ULTRA
CANCELLED FOR 2025
Due to circumstances outside our control, we’ve had to take the 2025 edition of our race off the schedule — there’s currently a ban on any activities in the woods in Nova Scotia, due to the ongoing drought situation and resultant fire hazard. We don’t anticipate the government lifting the ban anytime soon so we’ve decided it would be prudent to cancel a month before the event, to give any registrants the opportunity to cancel their travel arrangements and also potentially find an alternate BYU event.Our race committee members are all very disappointed, but we’re planning to be back in full swing next September.
Join us for the first (and so far, only) Backyard Ultra in beautiful Cape Breton, Nova Scotia! This course isn’t a typical backyard event – you have to do about 150m of climbing in the first kilometre in order to make it to the fun trail portion through the woods before the big descent back to the start.
This Backyard Ultra will take place at the Coxheath Mountain Trail (Access Road entrance).
