Last Stand Army Backyard Ultra & Ultra Mini
June 14th |  Start Time: 7:00 AM |  Midlothian, VA

 
This isn’t just another race — it’s a mission.
Join us on Flag Day, June 14th, for a one-of-a-kind endurance challenge and celebration of freedom, sacrifice, and the 250th birthday of the United States Army.

And here’s the best part: Race proceeds go directly to support the mission of the Semper Fi  Fund, providing urgently needed resources for wounded, ill, and injured service members, veterans and their families.  That in itself is a purpose for your run!

 
What’s a Backyard Ultra?


It’s not about speed — it’s about grit, determination, strategy and mental fortitude.
Runners complete a 4.167-mile loop every hour, on the hour, until there’s only one runner left standing. Will it be you? Set a personal goal for miles run, hit a milestone, or go all in for the win — this format lets YOU choose your mission.  it's your race to run however you want
