Old Tom Backyard

About

Experience the ultimate endurance challenge at the Old Tom Backyard Ultra, hosted on a family farm near Blumenort, Manitoba, just southeast of Winnipeg. This unique event, set on a farm that's been home to the Reimer family's turkey and cattle operations for generations, invites runners to test their limits. The sheltered pole shed provides space for participants to set up personal rest stations, while offering cover for crew and spectators. The race includes a daytime trail loop featuring winding treed singletrack paths and grassy pasture trails. As night falls, the course transitions to a road loop on local gravel roads. This event is perfect for those eager to push their endurance in a supportive farming atmosphere.
