Zombie Backyard Ultra
Pelham, United States • 30 Aug 2025
The Zombie Backyard Ultra is a challenging endurance running event held at Oak Mountain State Park in Pelham, Alabama. Participants run a 4.167-mile loop with approximately 500 feet of elevation gain and loss. The race follows a backyard ultra format where runners must complete each loop within one hour, starting a new loop every hour, continuing until only one runner remains—the "Last Zombie Standing." The course offers limited aid at the start/finish, and runners can set up tents or canopies for their supplies. The event is capped at 100 participants and emphasizes strict rules, including no personal aid during loops and no artificial aids. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
