Quail Ridge Farm Backyard Ultra

Quail Ridge Farm Backyard Ultra takes place on July 18, 2026, at 374 County Road 400 N in Albion, Illinois. The event is run in the Backyard Ultra format. Registration for the 2026 event closes on Fri, Jul 17 at 11:59 PM CT. There is a registration fee this year; registration includes a t-shirt and a ten dollar voucher for the on-site food truck.

Camping the night before the event is available at no cost. The organizer asks participants who plan to camp to provide a head count in advance to help with planning. Previous participants have camped in tents, trucks, sprinter vans, and full-size motor homes.

New for 2026 is a voluntary contribution of one dollar per lap run. Organizers plan to pool these contributions and distribute them to top finishers, with a typical split of 50/30/20 to the top two and the top female. If one of the top two finishers is female, the plan is to allocate 60/40 to the top two.

Additional event details and contact information are posted on the event Facebook page and the event listing. The organizer provides contact details there for questions and planning. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
