Oldman Backyard Ultra 2026

YouthOne has had a special place in my heart for a long time. The impact their work has on the youth in our community is undeniable. This year I have decided to push myself to the physcial limit in support of the cause. 

If you want to sponsor me via a one time donation, or motivate me with a per lap pledge - I'd be extremely grateful. If you have a creative goal you want me to hit, or have a donation that is only triggered if I complete a certain number of laps I am game for a challenge! 

For those of you who don't know about YouthOne or Bridges of Hope, I encourage you to read more about them in the links below. 

Thanks for your support!

This Oldman Backyard Ultra is a unique running experience where runners try to complete a 6.7km lap every hour, for as many hours as they can. This specific event is also a run for a cause,  supporting youth and families in Lethbridge who need it most! 

We have encouraged all participants to seek out pledges from family and friends for each lap they complete, or pledges for total laps completed by the entire group! This year for every $1500 raised at the event, one youth is sponsored for a full year at youth one, giving them free access to all programs, meals and support services.

Per-lap pledges - Once the race is complete runners are expected to follow up with your pledge-per-lap commitment and they will let you know how many laps they, or the group completed. You can then make your total donation here.   

For one time donations - If you would rather just make a straight donation rather than per lap, you can make that donation at any time on this runner’s profile page.
