Brokenagan Backyard Ultra 2026 brings a looped endurance test to Silver Star Provincial Park and Sovereign Lake Nordic Centre in Vernon. The event centers on the Backyard Ultra format, with runners returning to the start area after each loop until the field narrows.
The course sits in a mountain setting above Vernon, with trail laps designed for steady repetition rather than big point-to-point miles. It’s a trail race with a clear backyard-ultra structure and a strong local endurance-racing feel.
For runners comparing formats, this sits alongside other trail races in Vernon and fits neatly into the region’s summer trail calendar.
