Oldman Backyard Ultra 2026

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! 

3 days until I step into the corral of one of the biggest physical challenges of my year… and this one goes deeper than distance, pace, or how long I can hold on. 6.70km running the same loop every hour, on the hour until I can’t. Yeah—I plan to push far. Further than what’s comfortable. But this isn’t just about numbers.

This is about purpose.

This event supports Youth One—an organization in Lethbridge that provides youth with access to sports, mentorship, meals, and support services in a safe, inclusive environment. Donations from this event, goes towards helping those kids get access. It’s for the kids who don’t get the same shot that I had growing up. The ones whose families are stretched thin, where sports and movement become a “maybe someday” instead of a right now.

I know what movement did for me. I know what sports and surrounding support gave me—discipline, confidence, purpose, and an outlet when I needed it most. Every kid deserves that.

That’s why this matters.

The feeling of belonging in a community is something worth having. If you’ve ever believed in me, or in what sport can do for a life… this is where it counts.

I’ll keep sharing the link leading up to the event. If you can donate, even a little—it goes further than you think. If you are feeling eager to push me to the max, you can reach out to me privately and tell me you’ll pledge me per lap… that means I have to go further and further to get the donation that is worth every penny. 

Let’s make this hurt mean something.

If you’d like to come for a visit, or see how serious this event is -> May 2 START TIME 8:00am at Pavan park in Lethbridge.
