Cyprus Backyard Ultra - 14-17.3.2026
2026-03-14 10:00 - 2026-03-17 23:30 UTC | Oroklini Picnic Area, Oroklini picknic area, Larnaka, Oroklini, Cyprus
The Cyprus Backyard Ultra (CBU) is a thrilling last-person-standing race that pushes runners to their absolute limits. Inspired by the iconic Big Dog’s Backyard Ultra, this event combines relentless endurance, mental fortitude, and the breathtaking beauty of Cyprus into an unforgettable challenge.
As one of the very few ultra races on the island, and likely the only one that lasts this long in both distance and time, CBU stands out as a unique test of human endurance.
Race Format:
– Runners start together and must complete a 6.706-kilometer loop within one hour.
– Those who finish early must wait at the start line until the next loop begins.
– No breaks or outside assistance are allowed during the loop, rest is only permitted between loops.
– As the race progresses, each loop becomes a grueling test of physical stamina and mental resilience.
– The event continues until only one runner remains.
The Challenge:
With no set finish line, the Cyprus Backyard Ultra is a true battle of pacing, recovery, and sheer determination. The last runner standing after all others have DNF’d (Did Not Finish) is crowned the winner.
Set against the stunning landscape of Oroklini, Larnaca, which combines breathtaking views of the sea from a hill, this race is not just about endurance, it’s about camaraderie, pushing boundaries, and creating memories that last a lifetime.
