Barn Creek Backyard Ultra

The Barn Creek Backyard Ultra is a challenging ultramarathon held in Jamestown, Tennessee, featuring a 4.167-mile out-and-back loop through private wooded property near Colditz Cove State Natural Area. The course combines gravel, road, and trail surfaces with under 300 feet of elevation gain, crossing Barn Creek via a bridge. Runners complete loops hourly, following official backyard ultra rules, aiming to be the last to finish a loop.

The event fosters a supportive atmosphere with a main aid station offering warm food, drinks, and restrooms. Notably, 28% of participants in 2023 completed over 100 miles, and those reaching 100 miles earn a belt buckle. Camping and RV sites are available nearby.
