Barn Creek Backyard Ultra : Jamestown TN, November 6 2026
Barn Creek Backyard Ultra is a Last Man Standing style ultramarathon held in Jamestown, Tennessee on November 6 2026. The event uses a 4.167 mile out and back loop that starts at r3 motoworx and runs through woods on private property, crossing Barn Creek on a bridge and passing adjacent to Colditz Cove State Natural Area. The terrain includes gravel, road, and trail with under 300 feet of elevation gain.
The race follows official backyard ultra rules. Each loop must be completed within the hour to be counted. Competitors may not leave the course during a loop except to use restrooms. No non competitors are allowed on the course and no personal aid may be used while on a loop. Artificial aids including trekking poles are not allowed. Slower runners must allow passes. The winner is the last person to complete a loop; all others are recorded by the distance they covered.
Aid and facilities are located next to the start corral. Runners may set up a tent along the start corral; crew vehicles are not allowed in the tent area after set up. Warm food, water, drinks, and port a potties will be available. The event is cup less and each runner receives a reusable speed cup at packet pick up.
Awarding includes a belt buckle for runners who complete 100 miles. In the inaugural year 83% of starters finished at least a 50K, 50% finished 100K, and 28% reached 100 or more miles.
RV and camping options are offered on site. There are twelve full RV hookups, ten water only sites, and tent camping is free. Full sites and water only sites are available by reservation and have separate daily fees. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
