Queeny Backyard Ultra

The Queeny Backyard Ultra is a unique endurance running event held at Queeny Park in St. Louis, Missouri. This "last person standing" style race challenges participants to complete repeated loops of approximately 4.167 miles each hour until only one runner remains.

The 2026 edition offers a "Silver Ticket" to the winner, granting entry to the prestigious World Team Competition at Big's. Runners can earn challenge coins based on the number of loops completed, with awards for the last man and woman standing. The event features camping, custom swag, free photos, and a post-race beer celebration, creating a supportive and festive atmosphere for ultra runners.
