Sant Joan Backyard Ultra

La Sant Joan Backyard Ultra celebrates its third edition on 12 September 2026, with start and finish at l’Estada Juvinyà. This is an ultra-endurance event in Backyard format: every hour a 6.7 km lap begins and participants must complete it in under 60 minutes in order to be able to continue in the race, in a contest of endurance and strategy rather than speed. The route combines singletrack, dirt track and tarmac, so it is advisable to bring versatile footwear and suitable equipment for running by day and by night. The organisers create a camp atmosphere outside l’Estada Juvinyà, with space for tents, tables and chairs. In September, temperatures can also drop at night in the Garrotxa, so warm clothing and a headtorch form part of the mandatory kit.
