Welcome to the 4th edition of WINTER BAY Backyard Ultra 2025 – the race in central Stockholm – with start/finish right next to Liljeholmens T-bana!
The 1st edition in May 2022 was extremely popular & a sold-out running festival with 240 st registered participants (ca 180 st started). The winner Mai ran 41 loops & was awared a spot in the Swedish National Team in Backyard Ultra World Cup in October 2022 = Silver Ticket.
The 2nd edition took place in May 2023 with fewer runners (ca 130) but who created a truly fantastic weekend with amazing atmosphere in great weather. The winner Szilard Fodor from Hungary was the last one standing after 30 loops.
The 3rd edition in May 2024 was again sold out; the extremely hot weather during the first day made it tough for many runners but at the same time attracted many spectators to come watching the event. We had a record (in Sweden) 141 runners over 7 loops, 17 runners over 24 loops and the assist Hanna ran the third longest by a woman with 38 loop. Rasmus Stenemo ended up winning the Silver Ticket after 39 loops.
We are super proud of the fact that WINTER BAY has been chosen both 2022 and 2024 as a “SILVER TICKET“-race in Sweden!
All participants really praise the fantastic course which is beautifully varied along lake Trekanten, rounding the magnificent Vinterviken & back again on the other side of the lake to Trekantsparken.
Everything that has to do with the race will contribute to our charity initiative #Run4Diabetes to support Barndiabetesfonden (The Swedish Child Diabetes Foundation).
By WINTER BAY Backyard Ultra 2024 we raised an incredible 52.543 SEK!
WELCOME!!!
Backyard Ultra is truly a concept for ALL levels of runners, from the most avid ultra-crazy to the exercisers – everyone can test & challenge their own limits!
In short, it goes like this:
– The participants run a course (lap) that measures 6.7 km
– If you complete the lap in 1 hour, you are still in the competition
– Every full hour starts a new lap
– You must not skip one lap, nor come too late to the start of the next lap, then you are out
– The winner is the one (man / woman) who runs a full lap more than any other participant = Last One Standing!
