LATR Backyard Ultra

Indianola, United States • 13 Sep 2025

The LATR Backyard Ultra is a last-person-standing ultramarathon held at Lake Ahquabi State Park in Indianola, Iowa. Participants run a 4.167-mile loop around the scenic lake trails every hour on the hour, with no set finish time, continuing until only one runner remains. The course features mostly dirt and gravel paths with natural obstacles like roots and rocks, shaded by mature trees and offering lake views.
