Goal

Dear Friends and Family,

This Saturday, we’re lacing up out shoes for something bigger than a race. We're competing in the Old Man Backyard Ultra in Lethbridge, a gruelling loop-based endurance race where competitors keep running 6.7 km loops every hour until only one person is left standing.

But we're not just running for ourselves. We're running for the youth of Lethbridge.

Youth One is a local non-profit youth and family centre serving young people ages 11–18 in our community. Founded right here in Lethbridge in 2014, they exist to fill a critical gap: after-school hours, when youth are most vulnerable and most in need of a safe place to belong. In our city, 1 in 5 youth grow up in a low-income setting, and across Canada, 1 in 2 will grow up without a mentor or positive role model in their life. Youth One is changing that.

That’s why we’re looking for your support. If you want to be a part of our run we’d graciously accept a donation towards Youth One. Maybe you want to spice it up, and pledge a per lap goal to keep us motivated? Have something unique in mind? We’re all ears!

Thank you,

Scott and Connor

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.
