The Sweaty Backyard Cox Ultra

The Sweaty Backyard Cox Ultra

The Sweaty Backyard Cox Ultra is a Backyard Ultra event scheduled for July 25, 2026 in Concord, North Carolina, held at 3702 Sapp Rd. The event is listed with a fixed entry fee of USD 110 and currently shows sold out availability.

The race uses a loop course that measures exactly 4.167 miles. Each loop must be completed within one hour to count. Participants may not leave the course until a loop is finished, except for restroom breaks, and no personal aid is allowed during a loop; common aid stations are permitted. Non-participants are not allowed on the course.

Start procedures require all runners to be in the starting corral at the bell and to begin precisely at the bell. Late starts are not permitted. Slower runners must allow faster runners to pass. Use of artificial aids, including trekking poles, is prohibited.

Timing of individual loops is optional. The winner is the last person to complete a loop; all other runners are recorded by distance covered and are technically listed as DNF if they do not outlast the final finisher. The event has an open-ended cap, meaning there is no fixed race duration. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
