About the race
What is Trystan’s Backyard Ultra?
Trystan’s Backyard Ultra is Prairie du Chien’s first-ever Backyard Ultra–style race. It’s a unique endurance event where runners complete a 4.167-mile loop every hour, on the hour. The twist? You keep going until only one runner remains.
This race is about consistency, mental grit, and community — not speed. Whether you're aiming to be the Last One Standing or just want to push your limits, you're part of something special.
Two Ways to Join:
- 🥇 The Backyard Ultra – Go as far as you can, one lap at a time.
- 👟 1-Lap Fun Run/Walk – A relaxed, no-pressure loop for families, friends, and supporters.
Everyone has a place at the start line.
Meet the Race Director!
Hey, I’m Trystan Nesvold — I’m 20 years old and from Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. A couple of years ago, I had a life-changing tumor removal surgery, and everything shifted after that. Running became a huge part of my recovery — not just physically, but mentally too. I have now become a year-round Ultra runner.
