BigFoot BackYard Ultra Ahmedabad I Gujarat, India

Published by Vikas Solanki

Are You Built to Go Beyond?

Ahmedabad isn’t known for holding back — and neither is this race.
At 6:00 AM sharp on November 8th, 2025, Gujarat joins the global Backyard Ultra phenomenon with a challenge that’s as scorching as the land it stands on. This is where resolve gets tested, not just legs.

🏜️ Flat Doesn’t Mean Easy — Welcome to Gujarat’s Backyard Arena

This is the Backyard Ultra — but not the kind you stroll through. The dry wind, the hard dirt, the deceptive simplicity of the trail. It’s all designed to fool you into thinking this will be easy. It won’t.

Choose your reckoning:

  • Backyard 8

  • Backyard 15

  • Backyard 24

  • Signature Backyard Ultra (Last One Standing)

These aren’t just numbers — they’re hours you’ll be asked to show up, loop after loop, until you either break or break through.

⏱ The Format: Every Hour. One Loop. Until One Remains.

This isn’t a sprint. This is a ticking time bomb.
You run a 6.7 km loop.

  • Complete it in 60 minutes? You survive.

  • Miss it? You’re out.

  • Still standing? Get ready, the next loop starts in less than a minute.

And if you’re in the Signature Category, there’s no fixed end. Only one person wins. Everyone else? It’s a DNF — and a story to tell.

🔥 Inspired by Big’s — Brought to Gujarat

What began as a crazy idea by Gary “Lazarus Lake” Cantrell in Tennessee — the infamous Big’s Backyard Ultra — has now become a cult of its own.
The Ahmedabad Backyard Ultra is your chance to experience that same madness, right here in western India. With local terrain, unique challenges, and runners from all over — this is more than a race. It’s a proving ground.

🌍 The Road to the World Stage Starts Here

Win here, and you’re not just a local legend. You become part of a bigger story — one that might take you to Big’s Backyard Ultra itself.
This race is a qualifier, a crucible, and a calling.
