Austin's Backyard Marathon

Austin's Backyard Marathon is an exciting endurance event set in the scenic Texas Hill Country, specifically in Lago Vista, just northwest of Austin. This inaugural race features a unique "last person standing" format, where participants complete a 4.167-mile loop within an hour, aiming for personal distance goals. The event is officially sanctioned and serves as a qualifying race for the US Backyard Ultra National Team.

Runners can earn medals based on the number of loops completed, with special awards for half marathon, marathon, and ultra distances. Every finisher receives a medal, making it a rewarding challenge for all participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
