Race description
Dopesace Backyard Ultra is an endurance race held in the Aš Forests, where runners complete a loop of just under 7 kilometres every hour. The race continues until only one runner remains who can complete one more lap than the others. This unique format puts the emphasis not only on speed, but above all on endurance and determination. The winner receives a silver coin and the opportunity to represent the Czech Republic at the team world championships in October 2026. The race atmosphere is unforgettable, and the event is also linked to a charitable project.
