Schinder-Trail Backyard Ultra 2026

The Schinder-Trail Backyard Ultra takes runners on a 6.707 km trail loop in Rettert, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany, beginning at 08:00. It follows the backyard ultra format: the distance is not fixed, and the race continues loop by loop instead of concluding at a set marathon or ultramarathon distance. Registration follows this loop-by-loop approach, with a base fee and an additional charge for each completed circuit. The course is classified as Mountain Level 2 by ITRA and is eligible for ITRA points and the National League. Records show a solo field of 200 participants, with one event reaching 102.5 km and approximately 2,000 m of elevation change. Results, participant lists, photos, and sign-ups are available on the organizer's website. Previous editions have typically occurred in late September or early October.
