About this race
In Aigües, Alicante, Backyard Ultra Dama Blanca sends runners into the Sierra de Aigües for a 6.706 km loop that starts again every hour. It follows the Backyard Ultra format: finish the lap in under 60 minutes, rest or refuel with whatever time is left, then line up again when the next hour begins. The main race is individual, with a shorter 4-lap option for runners who want the format without going until only one person is left.
The loop uses a mix of tracks, trails, and asphalt, and the route stays the same through the day and night. Club Dark Trail Running Alicante organizes the race around the old paths of Aigües, with the Dama Blanca name framed less as a ghost story than as a reminder to treat the mountain with respect. Its motto is simple: “We run with respect, we advance with effort.”
