Platform for Backyard Ultra

Fewer spreadsheets.
More Backyard.

The bell rings. The runners set off. And you have a whole race to look after.

YardTrack brings participant management, lap timing and results together in one place. So you can spend more time on what matters: your Backyard as it unfolds.

From race preparation to the last one standing. Your Backyard in one place.

Before and after the bell

There’s more to a Backyard than one lap an hour.

Entry lists to check, bib numbers to assign and race packs to hand out. Then come the starts, the finishes and the runners who call it a day.

Often, a small team handles it all with paper, pens and spreadsheets close at hand.

YardTrack offers another way to bring those records together and make them easier to check during the race.

YardTrack Live

The people back at camp want to follow the race too.

Runners, crews, family and supporters can check laps, finish records and individual histories on YardTrack Live. Data is refreshed periodically. If a crew member notices a missing record, they can ask the race director to check it.

A closer look

Race day doesn’t always go to plan.

A finish without a record may need a closer look. For events with the review workflow enabled, the panel highlights pending records for the director to check. The DNF list helps track whose race has ended. Sporting decisions remain the race director’s responsibility.

To the last one standing

The starting corral gets quieter. The story goes on.

Each bell brings fewer runners to the start and more stories to tell. Follow the laps and see who is still in the race. After the final finish, revisit the results and individual histories from that Backyard.

For the people who make it happen

Your Backyard doesn’t have to be big to be well organized.

A group of friends, a volunteer team or an independent organizer: looking after each runner is already part of your race. With a small team and a tight budget, keeping records together makes them easier to check, lap after lap. That care matters in Backyards of all sizes.

Experience shapes the next lap

Built around the realities of a Backyard.

YardTrack supported the Brazilian team’s operation during the 2026 Backyard Ultra World Team Championships. That experience in the field helped identify needs and inspired improvements that continue to shape the platform.
