Big Wolf’s Backyard Ultra – Outaouais

Big Wolf’s Backyard Ultra – Outaouais takes place in September at the Nakkertok Sud center in Gatineau, Quebec, with the Cantley forest surrounding it. Runners complete a 6.7 km loop repeatedly, and the race continues until one runner remains for the next start. The event began in 2022, establishing itself as a small-field trail ultra focused on repeated laps within the woods. The course consists of trail and undergrowth, with the organizers as a secluded path removed from civilization. It offers a lightly technical route, not a flat road loop, with autumn colors and forest sounds shaping the atmosphere. Results reflect the backyard format: top runners have exceeded 200 km, with other strong efforts ranging from 100 to 160 km. Across its editions, 74 finishers have completed the race, with fields predominantly male but featuring women on the podium.
