Backyard de Pâques 2027

Backyard de Pâques directs runners around Mont Saint Cyr, located above Cahors in the Lot department of Occitanie, France. This trail and nature race, set for early April, employs the backyard ultra format. All participants begin a 6.7 km loop on the hour, with any runner unable to complete the loop before the next hour begins eliminated. The race continues until only one participant remains. Consequently, the total distance is determined by the runners' endurance, not a predetermined organizer limit. Past events have seen distances reach 482.4 km, demonstrating the potential of this straightforward format. The event also offers shorter trail races ranging from 7 km to 130 km. The atmosphere is noted as festive, moving beyond a sole focus on survival.
