Backyard Ultra in New Town (oct 10 8:00am) - 2nd Annual Backyard Ultra Marathon at Newtown

Saint Charles, MO

The Second Annual Backyard Ultra marathon in New Town, Missouri will be held October 10th, 2026. Event registration will start at 7:00 AM, and the race will begin at 8:00 AM.

Registration for the event is $25 to cover costs, but to run each loop you must put a dollar into a race jar. The winner of this last person standing race will receive half of the jar, while the other half will be donated to MSMDS charity.
