Held in the scenic town of Okotoks, Alberta, the Grassroots Backyard Ultra challenges participants to conquer a 6.71 km loop along the Sheep River every hour until only one runner remains. This 'flat and fast' course is a premier destination for athletes seeking personal distance milestones, characterized by a high-energy community atmosphere where more than half of the field typically surpasses the 100 km mark.
