6.Fränkischer Backyard Ultra

The 6.Fränkischer Backyard Ultra is a Backyard Ultra held at Sportverein Heuchling in Lauf an der Pegnitz. The race follows the Backyard Ultra format on a 6.7 km loop with hourly starts, with the first lap scheduled to begin at 15:00 on 4 September 2026. Participants run identical laps until only one athlete completes a lap within the 60‑minute limit and is declared the winner.

The format uses a strict hourly start cadence with a briefing at 14:45 and on‑site camping/setup from 10:00 on race day. The organiser requests a €1 donation per completed lap (up to the 15th lap) to benefit Obdachlosenhilfe; entry for the Backyard Ultra is listed as fully booked on the event page. Juliane Buchholz is named as the organiser and participants are expected to be self‑sufficient (headlamp required after dusk) and obey the event rules for no personal on‑course support except at official aid points.
