Acureto BackYard Ultra 2026

🚀 Challenge your limits at Acureto BackYard Ultra 2026!

The Acureto Backyard Ultra is a unique test of mental and physical endurance that brings you close to nature, between mountains and pine forests, on a demanding and thrilling course. Held at Parque do Acureto, Toucinhos - Ourém, this is the perfect opportunity to test your resilience in a race that can last hours or even days.

The race consists of a 6.706 km loop that you must complete in under one hour to start the next lap. Every hour, a new start; the goal is to be the last athlete to finish a lap alone within the time limit. If you fail to complete the lap on time or quit, your race ends. The walk, about 9 km, takes place the next day, September 6th, starting at 09:30.

The course is marked and prepared for day and night running, with luminous markers to ensure safety. The race is semi-self-sufficient, with refreshments and food available at the start/finish area.
