Pleasant Ridge Backyard Ultra
Greenville County Recreation organizes the Pleasant Ridge Backyard Ultra at Pleasant Ridge Camp and Retreat Center in Marietta, South Carolina on January 30–31, 2027. The event continues until only one participant remains.
The format requires runners to complete a 4.167-mile loop every hour, on the hour, repeating laps until they can no longer continue. If a runner does not complete a lap within the hour they receive a DNF. The last runner able to complete a full lap is declared the winner. There are no runner categories and all participants start at the same time.
The course is a loop that includes sections of the JFA trail and paved paths. The event spans overnight into the following day as needed.
Registration opens March 10, 2026 and closes August 31, 2026; the listed registration fee is $75.00. Early bib pickup and aid station setup are scheduled the day before the race; aid station spots are available on a first come, first served basis. Participants who use pop-up tents are asked to secure them.
Every runner receives a DNF camp mug and a T-shirt. The final remaining runner receives a finisher award. The race is held rain or shine; cancellation depends on county weather closures. Organizers do not supply personal gear. No late starts are accepted. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
