Backyard L'Espaseta Bellpuig 2026

Backyard L'Espaseta Bellpuig is a backyard-style ultra in Bellpuig, with each runner sent out on the same 6.7 km loop from the sports area at the top of every hour. The job is simple to understand and hard to keep doing: finish the loop in under an hour, use whatever time is left to eat, drink, change, sit down, or reset, then go again. This version is capped at 33 laps, so it is not an official last-person-standing backyard, but the ranking still comes from how many loops each runner completes. The course mixes streets in Bellpuig with rural paths and dirt tracks, and it is built more for steady rhythm than technical trail skill. Runners need to manage pace, food, and short rests carefully, because speed matters less than avoiding mistakes hour after hour. The race is for adults, uses chip timing, and can stretch across days and nights. The route is not closed to traffic, so runners also have to stay alert at crossings and respect normal road movement.
