Back Cove Backyard Ultra

The Back Cove Backyard Ultra is a unique running event held in Portland, Maine, featuring a challenging format where participants complete a 4.167-mile loop every hour until only one runner remains. The course is primarily flat and non-technical, offering scenic views along a tidal estuary. Runners can access two aid stations, one fully staffed at the start/finish area and another unstaffed in Payson Park.

The event emphasizes community involvement, with low registration fees and volunteer support. Participants are encouraged to bring their supplies and can set up tents near the start/finish area for convenience. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
