Baby Backyard Ultra

The Baby Backyard Ultra is a trail running event held in Maple Grove, Minnesota, offering distances from 5K up to a 50K ultra marathon. Participants start a 5K loop every hour on the hour, continuing until they complete 50K or choose to stop, making it accessible for runners and walkers of all levels, including children. The event emphasizes camaraderie, fun, and personal achievement while raising funds for the Children's Minnesota Cancer Fund.

A virtual option allows remote participation on any 5K course. The relaxed, supportive atmosphere includes aid stations, swag, and welcomes families and crews, promoting a community-focused, inclusive ultra running experience. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
