Andy's Backyard Ultra

Earlysville, United States • 25 Oct 2025

Andy’s Backyard Ultra is a last-person-standing ultramarathon held at Teventrails in Earlysville, Virginia, about 14 miles northwest of Charlottesville. The event uses the Backyard Ultra format: competitors must complete a 4.17-mile lap within one hour, and laps continue hourly until only one runner remains. The course winds through Teventrails’ wooded single-track, grassy fields, and farm roads, with roughly 358 feet of total elevation gain and loss per lap.

The atmosphere is described as a mix of fun and suffering, with a single aid station, camping, and spectator areas. Special features include a course preview day, a team award, escalating prizes (shirts, buffs, buckles) and a Sole Survivor trophy, with proceeds benefiting the Earlysville Volunteer Fire Company. Dogs are allowed at the start/parking area. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
