Norcal Backyard Ultra

Granite Bay, United States • 7-10 Nov 2025

The NorCal Backyard Ultra, held at Beals Point in Granite Bay, CA, is a challenging endurance running event featuring a 4.2-mile loop course along scenic singletrack trails and lakefront views at Folsom Lake. The main event, Last Person Standing, requires runners to complete a loop every hour until only one remains, testing physical and mental stamina. A shorter Mini Last Person Standing offers a 24-hour challenge for those seeking a less intense experience. The race awards cash prizes and finisher memorabilia, including hoodies and carved awards. Aid is available at a central station, and the event supports local nonprofits through its Unity Initiative. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
