Question 1

What Does “Bronze Medal Event” Mean at Brokenagan?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

What is the Brokenagan 24 Endurance Run?

Accepted Answer

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.

GREEN CHARTER

Accepted Answer

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.
