Mad Trapper Backyard Ultra 2026 brings a trail backyard format to Denholm on June 20, 2026, with The Ark as the event base. It’s built around the familiar hourly-loop challenge, where runners keep going as long as they can keep making the next start.

The race gives runners a few ways in: the full backyard ultra, the shorter Kristi Loop, and a 2-person team option. For runners who like a low-key rural setup with a clear format and a lot of time on their feet, it fits that niche well.

Denholm sits in western Quebec, so this is a good fit for runners looking for a trail event beyond the usual city-race calendar. Trail races in Denholm
