Welcome to the Brokenagan Backyard Ultra located at Silver Star Mountain Provincial Park. Join us at 5,500 feet to run 4.17 mile, one hour maximum loops through wild flowers, forest, and marsh land as you pass a beautiful mountain lake all on the world class cross country ski trails at Sovereign Lake Nordic Club. The Backyard ultra is a fun event that any ability can do, even if your goal is a few loops. Come a test out your training, challenge your friends and family to a loop off, or give it all you’ve got to be the last runner standing! We have a large staging area with plenty of room for you to set up your support and aid tents. The Okanagan Valley is a wonderful location, with lots of opportunities for friends and families of athletes to enjoy while you are racing. Make a holiday weekend of your event and enjoy Silver Star Mountain Park.
