Follow along as we take on the Dutch Backyard Ultra near Utrecht in the Netherlands as beginner ultrarunners. Held in the scenic forests of Leersum, our adventure started at 8 pm on Friday, March 8th, 2024.
In this video, we share our experiences tackling the course together as a couple, along with interviews from other participants explaining why they love the Backyard Ultra concept.
Join us for a glimpse into the challenges, triumphs, and camaraderie of this unique event, and discover why the Backyard Ultra is more than just a race – it's an unforgettable adventure in endurance and community.
