The Brokenagan Backyard Ultra is officially recognized as a Bronze Ticket event for the 2025 season by the Backyard Ultra World Championships. This means:
The winner of the event is guaranteed a spot on the Canadian National leaderboard.
The top performance from this race is submitted for consideration toward Team Canada selection for the Big Dog’s Backyard Ultra World Team Championship.
Bronze events are part of the international ranking system and help determine invitations to the 2026 Silver event.
Note: The format remains the same—a 4mile loop completed every hour, on the hour, until only one runner remains.
Brokenagan Backyard Ultra – FAQ
Can I participate even if I’m not going for the Bronze Medal?
Yes! You do not need to be an elite athlete or run for 24+ hours to enter.
This event is open to all runners looking to challenge themselves. You can stop whenever you're ready—whether that’s after 3 loops or 30. You’ll be cheered on just the same.
What’s the difference between a regular and bronze event?
A Bronze Medal Event is sanctioned and ranked, meaning results count toward international standings.
The winner of the Brokenagan BYU will have their performance submitted for possible Team Canada qualification.
Non-medal events are usually unsanctioned and more casual.
Do I need to run for 24 hours or more to “win”?
No. The format continues until only one runner finishes a loop that no one else does.
There is no set end time—your race could last 8 hours… or 100hrs.
Can I run as a team or relay?
No. The BYU format is strictly solo only—no team category, no pacing, no substitutions.
Can I leave the venue between loops?
No. Once the race begins, you must remain in the staging area unless you're out running a loop. Leaving the area counts as a withdrawal.
Can I get help or pacing during a loop?
No. All outside assistance, pacing, or aid must take place in the staging area only, between loops.
Is this a good event for first-timers?
Yes! Backyard Ultras are actually one of the most inclusive ultra formats:
You can run as few or as many loops as you like
There’s no cutoff other than the hour per loop
The community vibe and loop format make it great for spectators, support crews, and runners who want to experiment with overnight racing or new distances.
Do I need special gear?
A watch and/or timer is helpful so you’re ready to start the next loop on the hour.
You’ll want a tent or 10x10 canopy, warm clothes, food, a chair, and any personal aid supplies.
Headlamp required for night loops.

The Brokenagan 24 is a unique endurance challenge based on the classic "backyard ultra" format—but with a twist. You or your team will have 24 hours to complete as many 4.17-mile (6.7 km) loops as you can on a beautiful trail course set in the alpine forests of Silver Star Provincial Park.
You can tackle it solo or with a team of 2 to 4 runners. Your goal? Push your limits, test your strategy, and see how far you can go.
Solo or Team—Your Choice
Solo: Take on the full 24 hours and run as many loops as you can.
Team: Teams of 2 to 4 runners rotate through loops—one runner at a time on course. Teams decide their own strategy: one loop each, longer intervals, or tactical breaks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to run for the full 24 hours?
No. You can stop whenever you like. The challenge is to complete as many loops as you're able—whether that's 2 loops or 22!
Can our team members run at the same time?
No. Only one team member may be on the course at a time. This keeps the playing field level and consistent with the endurance format.
Can we set up a rest and aid area?
Yes! You're welcome to bring a 10x10 canopy tent, chairs, gear, and fuel. This becomes your home base and cheering zone between loops.
Can I leave the area to shower or rest elsewhere?
No. Once the event begins, you must remain in the staging area unless you're out on the course. Leaving the area will count as a withdrawal.
Can I receive assistance on the course?
No. All aid and support must be taken within the staging area. This includes food, hydration, and gear changes.
Can I have a pacer?
No pacers are allowed. Each loop is meant to be completed solo—by the registered runner only.
Can I take as long as I need for each loop?
Yes. This is not a last-one-standing race. You can take breaks between loops and complete them at your own pace. The clock only stops after 24 hours.
How long is each loop?
4.17 miles (6.7 km), with a mix of rolling trail terrain, beautiful scenery, and well-marked singletrack.
Is This a Good Event for Spectators?
Absolutely!
The Brokenagan 24 is an awesome event for spectators and support crews. Here’s why:
The loop format means runners return to the same central staging area each time, so you can cheer every lap.
You can set up lawn chairs, bring a cooler, and settle in for a day (and night!) of trail fun.
Watch the drama unfold as fatigue, strategy, and determination kick in during the later hours.
Bonus: it’s a great way to introduce friends and family to trail running without needing to hike far into the backcountry!

5km Racers – A Quick Honest Note
I’m going to be straight with you…
It’s 6km.
Once we got our feet on the trail and measured it properly, well… this thing happened.
Trailforks lied.
You’re getting a bonus kilometre of beautiful singletrack at no extra charge. You’re
welcome.
It still carries the spirit of a 5km — approachable, spicy, super flow decent, and fun — just
with a little extra trail seasoning built in.
10km Racers - You are safe. It is 10km.
No surprise bonus kilometres. No math tricks. Just a solid, honest 10km of early-season
trail running with everything that makes it fun and a little bit spicy.
What to Expect on Course
Let’s be clear about what you’re stepping into, so you arrive prepared.
You will likely see:
• Mud
• Some packed dirt
• Light snow in shaded sections
• A properly spicy climb
• Some techy descents (10km course)
• Flowing singletrack
• Early season trail conditions
Conditions will vary. Trail shoes with solid grip are strongly recommended.
Strategy Tip
Tap it cool in the first half.
You are going to climb.
If you push too hard early, that spicy section will feel much harder than it needs to.
Run smart. Hike strong when needed. Descend controlled. This course rewards patience and effort.
Aid station
There will be water and Tailwind provided by The Starting Block Vernon at the start/finish line, and some other small snacks, please bring what you need with you.
This is a cup-less event, please bring your own drinking containers.
Washrooms
Washrooms will be located close to the start/finish line
Waivers
Please complete the BB&Bro's and Predator Ridge waivers online prior to race day.
No waiver = no race.
Post-Race
Meal service begins at 11:00 AM.
Stick around. Eat. Cheer others in. High five your fellow racers. This is part of the experience.
The Vibe
We are excited to be collaborating with Predator Ridge to bring you a grassroots, simple, low-cost, high-fun event.
This is meant to feel welcoming.
It’s meant to feel real.
It’s meant to feel like trail community.
Invite your family and friends to come and cheer you on
If you have any questions or concerns leading into race day, please reach out at bushbabestrailrunning@gmail.com.
We want you arriving confident, prepared, and ready
to enjoy the day.
See you at the start line.

Recognizing that:
Trail running is a sport that takes place in the natural environments. Events are taking us to ever more spectacular, natural, remote, and fragile landscape in higher numbers. At the same time as enjoying the sport, all stakeholders – organizers, participants, volunteers, sponsors, suppliers, partners – take on a responsibility to protect the environment and the landscape.
Climate change is placing us, our planet, and future generations at risk. We need to reduce the impact of our activity on the climate and to display climate leadership by engaging actively and collectively in striving to achieve climate neutrality. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions will in turn expand economic opportunity and secure livelihoods, allow the use of resources more efficiently, drive economic innovation and strengthen environmental, social and economic resilience.
Our sport has a unique power to inspire a wider societal change that prioritizes sustainable development and the lowering of our carbon footprint so that our planet and our natural environment stay intact for future generations to enjoy.
Protecting nature and combatting climate change is a responsibility we all share. By working collaboratively with our peers and relevant stakeholders, we can pursue these goals in a consistent and mutually supportive fashion. We should strive to share knowledge and experience with each other, disseminate good practices and lessons learned, develop new tools, and collaborate on areas of mutual interest.
We strive to:
Respect and conserve nature, its flora and fauna, natural habitats and landscapes.
Integrate sustainability into our event organization.
Preserve and protect our trails and keep them litter-free.
Reduce waste at source, support recycling, and composting.
Reduce the event’s carbon footprint.

Welcome to the Okanagan Indian Band Aqua Terra Event, located on the beautiful ancestral lands of the Okanagan Indian Band.
Aqua Terra is finally back in a new location after a 3-year hiatus, once again allowing event racers to challenge themselves solo or as a team in three different events, Stand Up Paddle board, Mountain Biking and Trail Running.
Held on the Okanagan Indian Band ancestral lands
The race will start with a drumming ceremony as you get into the water down at the ----- grounds beach where both solo and teams will paddle across the lake to skirt the far shoreline.
As you cruise left down the shoreline you will see a giant White Swan where racers will paddle around the right side of the swan turning to head back towards the far shoreline and the next white swan. Here you will again turn right around the swan to dash back towards your final giant pink flamingo buoy.
At this pink beauty, racers will make their final right turn and head directly back towards your starting beach recognizable by the Indigenous Drumming and large blue flags on either side of the beach and bike staging area.
Once you reach the beach run your board up to the board staging, place your board on your preassigned rack space and run over to the bike staging area right across from your boards to either tag your rider or get riding yourself.
Get those quads ready as your ride will take you across the road to begin your climb up to the plateau grasslands overlooking the dark green waters of Okanagan Lake to enjoy the big skies and amazing valley views. Following your plateau loop, save some bravery to descent what you just climbed as you head back to the bike staging area where athletes will start the run and final portion of your event.
At this point let’s hope you have left a little in the tank for what’s to come! Some climbs, to legs crushing descents, more stunning lake and valley views, and a ton of fun all the way to the finish line where we will be waiting with your finishers medal, high 5’s and food.
*Please note, this course starts with a badass climb for the ride and run portion of your event!
We are not finished yet!!! Grab your food and drink and come and join us to cheer our Okanagan Indian Band Children’s race to as they start their own Aqua Terra event.

Recognizing that:
Trail running is a sport that takes place in the natural environments. Events are taking us to ever more spectacular, natural, remote, and fragile landscape in higher numbers. At the same time as enjoying the sport, all stakeholders – organizers, participants, volunteers, sponsors, suppliers, partners – take on a responsibility to protect the environment and the landscape.
Climate change is placing us, our planet, and future generations at risk. We need to reduce the impact of our activity on the climate and to display climate leadership by engaging actively and collectively in striving to achieve climate neutrality. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions will in turn expand economic opportunity and secure livelihoods, allow the use of resources more efficiently, drive economic innovation and strengthen environmental, social and economic resilience.
Our sport has a unique power to inspire a wider societal change that prioritizes sustainable development and the lowering of our carbon footprint so that our planet and our natural environment stay intact for future generations to enjoy.
Protecting nature and combatting climate change is a responsibility we all share. By working collaboratively with our peers and relevant stakeholders, we can pursue these goals in a consistent and mutually supportive fashion. We should strive to share knowledge and experience with each other, disseminate good practices and lessons learned, develop new tools, and collaborate on areas of mutual interest.
We strive to:
Respect and conserve nature, its flora and fauna, natural habitats and landscapes.
Integrate sustainability into our event organization.
Preserve and protect our trails and keep them litter-free.
Reduce waste at source, support recycling, and composting.
Reduce the event’s carbon footprint.
Raise awareness to our participants, volunteers, sponsors, suppliers and partners about the importance of an environmentally friendly approach.
