🚨 BIB TRANSFER DEADLINE ALERT 🚨

The clock is ticking. ⏰ June 1 is the FINAL day to transfer your bib for the 5th installment of the Grassroots Backyard Ultra.

And this year? The field is DEEP.

With 98 runners already registered, this is shaping up to be one of the most competitive, gritty, and unforgettable editions yet. Veterans. First-timers. Last-person-standing hopefuls. Everyone’s showing up ready to test their limits.

If you’ve been sitting on a bib you can’t use — now’s the time to transfer it.
If you’ve been hoping to get in — this is your last shot.

After June 1, the roster is locked.

COURSE “REVEAL” 😂

Let’s be honest… if you’ve run Grassroots Backyard Ultra before, this isn’t exactly breaking news.

We’re bringing back the SAME legendary loop we’ve used for the last 3 editions because, why mess with a good thing?

6.71 KMs at a time. Again and again and again.

Proven. Loved. Slightly feared.

See you in the corral.

To the moms of the Grassroots community — we see you.

Today we celebrate every mama in our Grassroots Backyard Ultra family: volunteers, crew members, racers, supporters, race directors and future legends raising the next generation along the way.

Happy Mother’s Day to the women who carry so much and still keep moving forward. We’re better because you’re here.

This is NOT a side project.

So grateful for all the experience I have had in the Backyard.

Vacation packing: outfits, toiletries, maybe a book.

Backyard training packing: 6 bottles, 3 pairs of shoes, emergency calories, backup socks for your backup socks… and somehow still calling it ‘a relaxing trip.’ 😅

If you know, you know.

What’s the most ridiculous thing YOU’ve packed mid-training?

Another spot for the Canadian National Team has been secured with another one being decided next weekend at Old Man Backyard. The Backyard season is definitely heating up.

Congrats to Michael Serani who will make his first appearance on Team Canada. Shoutout to Assist, Jeremy Bombardier.

Everyone else is debating their Easter candy ranking…

Mini eggs vs. cream eggs vs. Peeps

You’re over here figuring out how to fit your long run in between it all.

Priorities look a little different right now because the gap between now and June 27? It’s closing fast.
