Monroe, North Carolina (United States of America) - "Momentus Backyard Ultra". The 2026 Momentus Backyard Ultra returns to the beautiful Williams Rushing Farm in Monroe, NC for a race experience that blends endurance, community, competition, and purpose. Set on a private 100-acre farm owned by DeAngelo Williams and Ris Williams, this event gives runners a rare chance to compete on scenic trails, open pasture, and a working farm atmosphere that feels far from the city and close to what matters. Choose Your Challenge 1) Momentus Backyard Ultra – $127 Entry The official Backyard Ultra format: run a 4.167-mile loop every hour, on the hour, until only one runner remains. Finish your loop within the hour and earn the right to start the next. Miss the next bell, and your day is done. There is no set finish line...just the next lap, the next hour, and the question of how long you can stay in it. This is one of the most unique and mentally demanding endurance formats in the sport. 2) Momentus Celebrity Loop – $55 Entry A one-lap opportunity to be part of race day without committing to the full ultra. Run the first official 4.167-mile loop alongside the field and alongside former professional athletes competing to raise money for charity. 100% of Celebrity Loop entry fees go to the charity prize pool, making this a chance to be part of something bigger than the miles alone. The Course The course is an intermediate trail loop featuring a mix of hard-packed dirt, roots, rocks, gravel, manicured grass, and rolling terrain. Each lap includes roughly 100 feet of elevation gain...enough to keep you honest without stealing the rhythm of the format. The private farm setting gives the race a quiet, immersive feel that is hard to find at traditional events. Why Run It? A true last-runner-standing endurance challenge A rare opportunity to race on a private farm venue not typically open to the public A strong mix of serious competition and a welcoming community A chance to run with purpose through the Celebrity Loop charity component An event that is growing quickly and building a reputation as a must-run experience in the region Whether you’re chasing your first ultra breakthrough, looking to test your limits one lap at a time, or just want to be part of an unforgettable race-day atmosphere, the Momentus Backyard Ultra delivers something different. No Hurry. No Pause. Just one more loop. www.momentuspersonaltraining.com/events/byu26
