Big Dog's Backyard Ultra : Bell Buckle, TN
Big Dog's Backyard Ultra takes place on October 17, 2026 in Bell Buckle, Tennessee at the Big Farm-Short Creek. The event is a Last Man Standing race held as part of the World Backyard Ultra Team Championships.
Entry to this championship field is limited to athletes who qualify. Qualification occurs by winning a silver ticket event or by placing among the top At-Large performers from a competitor's nation over the previous two years. The United States team will include the top 15 qualified American athletes who are citizens or permanent residents.
The qualifying period ends on August 15, 2026. Results are to be submitted and entered within one week after that date, at which point the At-Large list will be finalized and qualified athletes accepted. All athletes who have won a silver ticket are accepted at this time.
Organizers will contact qualified athletes who do not apply to determine their intentions and may offer places to the next alternates. As the qualifying window closes, places may be offered to At-Large athletes who have accumulated a large number of hours or yards; applications will be accepted from athletes who have equaled or exceeded 100 hours. Registration for this event closed on September 1, 2026 at 11:59 PM. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
