BIGFOOT BACKYARD SERIES - CHANDIGARH EDITION 2025

Are you ready for a challenge that pushes the bold and breaks the unprepared?

Brace yourself for the Chandigarh Backyard Ultra — where rhythm meets resilience, and the start line is also your battlefield. Taking off at 6:00 AM on September 13th, 2025, this race isn't just a run… it’s a relentless war of willpower.

Welcome to Chandigarh's Backyard!

The Chandigarh edition of the BigFoot Backyard Ultra Series brings the unforgiving format of Last Man Standing to the edge of the Shivalik Hills. Designed with both challenge-seekers and strategy-lovers in mind, this race features multiple categories:

Backyard 4

Backyard 8

Backyard Ultra (Last One Standing)

The fixed-hour categories offer attainable goals for runners testing the format, while the signature format holds nothing back: one loop, every hour, until only one runner remains.

The Format: Last One Standing

A scenic, looped course — simple, yet savage.

You have 60 minutes to complete each loop. Finish it in time? You rest, hydrate, reset… and toe the line again.

Miss the cutoff? You’re out.

Quit voluntarily? You're done.

This isn’t about being fast. It’s about being unbreakable.

As the Shivalik breeze cools your sweat and the sun blazes overhead, the circle of competitors thins — until only one remains.

Inspired by Big’s Backyard Ultra

Born from the mind of Gary “Lazarus Lake” Cantrell, the Backyard Ultra format has become a cult classic in endurance sport. The Chandigarh Backyard Ultra carries the same DNA as the legendary event in Tennessee — only now, the test unfolds on Indian soil.

With every hour, you’re not just racing — you’re writing your own folklore.

The Ultimate Prize: A Path to Big’s

While only one runner will earn the title of Last One Standing in Chandigarh, the journey doesn’t end there. Backyard Ultra winners around the world may find themselves invited to the prestigious Big’s Backyard Ultra, representing their country on a global endurance stage.

So, are you the one Chandigarh will send to the world?
