ROO Ultra

ROO Ultra - Clancy, Montana

ROO Ultra is a backyard ultra held on private ranch property at Ponderosa Ranch in Clancy, Montana on August 1, 2026. The event follows the Last Person Standing format: competitors run a single 4.167-mile loop every hour, on the hour, and must complete each loop within the hour to earn the right to start again. The race continues until one runner completes a loop alone and is declared the winner; any runner who fails to start the next loop is recorded as a DNF.

The course is clearly marked and GPS course files are provided in advance. Two course options may be used depending on weather and trail conditions. Expected elevation gain is approximately 250-305 feet per loop, with terrain consisting of gravel roads, cattle trails, and ranch access roads. Competitors are responsible for their own nutrition, hydration, lighting, medical supplies, and race support; the event is self-supported with one medical professional on-site for emergencies only.

Crew areas are available near the start/finish on a first-come, first-served basis. Camping on the property and tent camping are not permitted; small camper vans that fit in a standard parking spot are allowed while full-size RVs, pull-behind campers, and travel trailers are prohibited. Porta-potties will be available, food will be offered for purchase, and live music is scheduled during the event day. Participants must respect landowner rules, stay within designated areas, and follow conduct and safety guidelines. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
