Simon absolutely loves Backyard Ultra's. Since 2023 Simon has run in 5 Backyard ultras, three of which were run this year. He recently broke through 24 the yard barrier at Reds and he is also part of Jashy's all conquering crew.
The Mount Ascutney Vertical Backyard Ultra is a last person standing style race in which participants climb 1209 feet of vertical every hour (with 2.25 miles) until there is only one person left standing. 24 hours is equal to the elevation of Mount Everest, but this race went far beyond that. In this episode, we talk with finisher Conor Brown and assister Bill Tidd who ran over 200 miles and over 100,000 feet of vertical in 90 and 89 hours. We are joined by race directors Eli Burakian and Justin Chapman of Northeast Trail Adventures to break down the race.SPONSORS!Infinit Nutrition: Use code FROMTHEBACKCOUNTRY at infinitnutrition.us for 15% off your entire orderBurgeon Outdoor: Check out Burgeon's incredible and locally made hiking apparel in Lincoln NH or at burgeonoutdoor.com, and let them know we sent you!!Janji: Use code FROMTHEBACKCOUNTRY at janji.com for 10% off your entire order and let them know we sent you at checkout!

To jedno z najtrudniejszych wyzwań na świecie, oparte na zmodyfikowanej formule Backyard Ultra — zawodnicy co godzinę ruszają na pętlę 4,2 km z 266 m przewyższenia, a zwycięzcą zostaje ostatnia osoba na trasie. Piotr pokonał aż 90 pętli, czyli 378 km i 23 940 metrów przewyższenia, zdobywając pierwsze miejsce oraz nagrodę w wysokości 25 000 dolarów australijskich.

Stephanie has been running Backyard Ultra's for less than 12 months and she's already proven herself to be a force in the format. She ran 38 yards at Babbit's BYU in September and most recently completed 67 yards to finish as the Assist at Summit BYU (The Last Dance). That 67 yards ranks Stephanie as the sixth-best woman of all time.

Sarah Perry just set the women's Backyard Ultra world record with an astonishing 95 laps, covering 637 kilometers over 95 hours at Big's Backyard Ultra World Championship in Tennessee. That's nearly 400 miles of relentless 4.167-mile loops, run every hour on the hour, until only one runner remains. Sarah was the last woman standing. And in doing so, she didn't just break records, she broke expectations.A maths teacher and mountain rescue volunteer from Cumbria, Sarah brings grit, grace, and a touch of trail-running magic to everything she does. In this episode, we dive into the highs, the lows, and the surreal moments of her record-breaking run.

In this first check-in with Delirious WEST 2026 athlete Gabe Alves, we dive into a wild few weeks that included a bee sting in the middle of the WA outback, lessons in resilience, and a surprising breakthrough in running technique. From dodging anaphylaxis on a remote motorbike adventure to rediscovering efficient foot strike after 7,500 metres of vert in October, Gabe's story reminds us that endurance is as much about awareness as it is about toughness.

Willkommen zur Oktober-Folge des Alles Laufbar Mitglieder-Podcasts! Wir, Benni und Christian, diskutieren wieder einmal über aktuelle Themen aus der Trailrunning-Community. Wir starten mit etwas Persönlichem: Benni erzählt von seinem Aufenthalt auf Mallorca und seinen Verletzungsproblemen, nachdem er sich beim Fußball einen Muskelfaserriss zugezogen hat. Er berichtet von seinen Bemühungen, wieder auf die Beine zu kommen, und beleuchtet die Herausforderung, Rückschläge im Sport zu akzeptieren.Danach reflektieren wir über den Hype um Backyard-Ultras und den “Last Soul Ultra”. Anschließend wird ein kritischer Blick auf den Mozart 100 by UTMB geworfen, der 2026 von Salzburg nach Fuschel am See verlegt wird und bei dem die immer weiter steigende Startgelder für Unmut sorgen. Außerdem greifen wir die Debatte um die Golden Trail World Series und deren Zukunft im Trailrunning auf.Dies ist nur er erste Teil der Mitglieder-Folge.

By Ken Loucks - This message invites listeners to rethink what “running the race” really means. Instead of chasing a finish line we can see, it shows that faith is more like Big Al's Backyard Ultra—a race with no set end, where endurance is tested one lap at a time.

What kind of person dreams up the hardest race on earth, and then follows it up with one of the weirdest? This week on The Trailhead, Zoë and Brendan dive deep into the mind of Lazarus Lake, the man behind both the Barkley Marathons and Big's Backyard Ultra. Our guest, author Jared Beasley, joins to talk about his new book on Laz, unpacking the mystery, mischief, and mythology that made one man's backyard into a global endurance phenomenon. We explore what drives people to suffer on purpose, why Laz's races capture our collective imagination, and what they say about the culture of ultrarunning itself.
In Episode 292 of the InnerFight Endurance Podcast, Rob Jones and Dan Bagley break down two very different race experiences: Backyard Ultra and the Berlin Marathon.From running through the night and battling “wobble” moments, to the challenges of chasing a fast marathon PB, they share powerful reflections on mindset, endurance, and the lessons athletes can apply in training, racing, and life.
This week on Tea & Trails, we're joined by a runner who's redefining what it means to go the distance, Lizzie Gatherer. From her first ultra to a jaw-dropping 208-mile effort at the Backyard Ultra, Lizzie's journey is one of resilience, curiosity, and chasing joy with every step.She's not just a runner, she's a mindset master, a fuel strategy tinkerer, and a proud member of Team England. We'll dive into what drew her to the unique world of Backyard racing, how she trains for the unknown, and the friendships and places that keep her grounded.So grab your trail shoes, snacks and a brew. This one's a celebration of hope, heart and the magic of showing up.https://ultramadlizzie.com/XMILES UK - Listeners receive 10% of their order value back as store credit via the link below https://xmiles.avln.me/c/RiwxnARvfHeRRunderwear - Use code TEATRAILS15 for 15% off your orderhttps://runderwear.avln.me/c/GPVNMgMfYfLPSHOKZ - Use code TEA102025 to receive £10 offhttps://uk.shokz.com?sca_ref=7394994.MfsDQZBAeLQihiPrecision Fuel & Hydration https://visit.pfandh.com/3GKxHjUPrecision Fuel & Hydration Planner https://visit.pfandh.com/3RuP25zHarrier - Use code TEA10 for 10% off https://harrierrunfree.co.uk/Centurion Running - Use code TEAANDTRAILS10 to receive 10% off *Excluding Sale Items https://centurionrunning.com/GOODR - Use code GOTEAANDTRAILS to reveive 10% off your order https://goodr.avln.me/c/VLEmsAIZCDtmVERSUS SOCKS - Use code VSTEAANDTRAILS to receive 15% off your order https://versussocks.avln.me/c/NpgscXJQmFgqLIFE JACKET SKIN PROTECTION - Use code GOTYOURBACK for 10% off your first order https://lifejacketskin.com/PRIMUS UK - Use code TT-PRIMUS-20 for 20% off https://primusuk.avln.me/c/kBWmOJaEiByDProtein Rebel - Use code Tea15 for 15% off your first order https://proteinrebel.com/Fenixlight Limited - Use code T&T5 for 5% off your order https://www.fenixlight.co.uk/Content may contain affiliate links which can help support and grow this channel at no extra cost to you.Brew with the Coaches - CLICK HEREHardmoors - https://www.hardmoors110.org.uk/Ourea Events - https://www.oureaevents.com/Ultra Trails - https://www.ultratrails.co.uk/Hannah Walsh - https://www.hannahwalsh.co.uk/Punk Panther - https://www.punkpanther.co.uk/Pen Llyn Ultra - https://penllyn.niftyentries.com/Raw Adventures - https://www.raw-adventures.co.uk/

This week on the Dirt and Vert Podcast, we're diving into a world of grit, genius, and a little bit of madness with Jared Beasley, a runner and writer who knows a thing or two about chasing demons on the trails.Jared takes us on his incredible journey from a troubled past to finding his purpose through running and writing. He pulls back the curtain on the enigma himself, Laz, the legendary race director, and shares what it's truly like to enter his world—a world Jared describes as a modern-day Willy Wonka factory that tests the very character of those who dare to enter.We talk about the intense experience of the Backyard Ultra, the raw power of willpower, and the profound lessons learned from Laz's unique philosophy. It's a powerful conversation about personal growth, the vital role of community, and the art of turning pain into purpose.Jared's story is a testament to the fact that running can be a path to redemption, and that sometimes, the most challenging races are the ones that save us.Two links to purchase "The Endurance Artist" below:Simon & Schuster: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Endurance-Artist/Jared-Beasley/9798990795822Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Endurance-Artist-Lazarus-Lake-Barkley/dp/B0DV4NBP4S
Andrew Drummond is the heartbeat of the White Mountain trail running community -ultrarunner, ski mountaineer, and race director who set the FKT on the Direttissima, summiting all 48 NH 4,000-footers in under five days. We dive into his adventures in ultramarathons, backcountry skiing, and community building in Jackson, NH, including the White Mountain 100, Bubba's Backyard Ultra, and guiding Scott Jurek through the toughest terrain in the East. As our conversation with Andrew unfolds, what emerges isn't just a tale of mountains or miles, but a love story-of place, of lifestyle, of belonging. It's about finding connection, losing it, and carrying that emptiness until the trail brings you back to what makes you whole.

For our 200th episode, I'm honored to welcome two legends of the endurance world: Lazarus Lake, the mastermind behind the Barkley Marathons and Big's Backyard Ultra and author Jared Beasley, whose new book The Endurance Artist dives deep into Laz's life and legacy. We talk about what it really means to chase the impossible, how pain and discomfort shape us, and why the “Danny's” of the sport (everyday athletes who rise beyond expectation) are so inspiring. Laz shares lessons from a lifetime of running, coaching, and creating races that break people down and build them back up, while Jared gives us a writer's view into the grit, humor, and heart of these iconic events. From dogs as life coaches to the team dynamics hidden in solo suffering, this conversation is a raw and memorable celebration of endurance, resilience, and living life to its fullesthttps://8020books.com/product/the-endurance-artist/Life Coaching with Travis MacyAre you a middle-aged man looking for a wise and powerful teammate to support your expansive journey in work, family, athletics, and life?
