Forge Your Legacy

Rise through the ranks.
Earn your title.
Go the distance.

Every hour on the Backyard Ultra course is earned through grit, endurance, and determination—and offers a chance to discover how far you can go. Inspired by the ranks of the Roman legion, these badges honor each runner’s journey, from Tiro, the new recruit, to the highest ranks of endurance. Each badge marks the distance you’ve covered and the legacy you’re building, one yard at a time. Take your place at the start, chase the next rank, and forge a legacy you’ll be proud to carry.
