Pleasant Ridge Backyard Ultra

The Pleasant Ridge Backyard Ultra is an endurance running event taking place at the Pleasant Ridge Camp and Retreat Center in Marietta, South Carolina. This unique race format challenges participants to complete as many 4.167-mile laps as possible within an hour, continuing until only one runner remains. Open to all levels of runners, the event emphasizes mental grit and personal achievement rather than speed.

The course features a mix of trails and paved paths, providing a scenic yet challenging experience. Participants receive a DNF camp mug for not finishing, while the winner earns a special finisher award. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
