The Bronze Ticket designation means Brokenagan Backyard Ultra is part of the official international Backyard Ultra championship qualification pathway, giving athletes an opportunity to compete for a place on Team Canada at the Backyard Ultra World Team Championships.Here's how it works:1. Bronze Ticket – Brokenagan BYU: Athletes complete a 6.706 km loop every hour, on the hour, until only one runner remains. The Last Runner Standing earns a guaranteed entry into a designated Silver Ticket event.2. Silver Ticket – National Team Qualification: The winner of a Silver Ticket event earns a guaranteed position on their country's national Backyard Ultra team.3. World Team Championships: Athletes selected for Team Canada compete against some of the world's strongest endurance runners, with further opportunities to qualify for the Individual World Championships at Big's Backyard Ultra in Tennessee.Why This Matters for BrokenaganBronze Ticket status puts Brokenagan on the international Backyard Ultra qualification pathway. Athletes aren't simply competing for the title of Last Runner Standing; they're competing for an opportunity to advance toward representing Canada on the world stage.And with Brokenagan's challenging high-altitude course at Sovereign Lake Nordic Centre, runners will need endurance, strategy, consistency and plenty of mental toughness.Important: The Bronze Ticket applies to the Backyard Ultra competition, not the separate 24-Hour Endurance Run. Also, winning Bronze does not automatically qualify an athlete for Team Canada; it secures their opportunity to compete at the Silver Ticket level.For the 2027–2028 qualification cycle, Bronze Ticket winners advance to Silver Ticket events in 2028, subject to the official championship rules. Brokenagan Backyard Ultra – FAQCan 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 likeThere’s no cutoff other than the hour per loopThe 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.

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.
