The Loop Backyard Ultra: more than a race, a unique experience

As Gold Sponsor of the event, Domaine de Labourdonnais is proud to once again welcome The Loop Backyard Ultra on 28 August 2026. More than a race, this unique endurance event brings together runners, supporters and the wider sporting community around shared values of perseverance, determination and a passion for sport.

Following the success of its inaugural edition in 2025, The Loop Backyard Ultra returns for its second edition, with the race starting from Quartier des Serres. The concept is simple yet exceptionally demanding: every hour, participants must complete a 6.706 km loop before returning to the starting line and setting off again for another loop, and another, until only one runner remains.

But beyond the physical challenge, The Loop Backyard Ultra is a celebration of community, resilience and personal achievement. Every completed loop is a victory in itself, while every new start marks another challenge to overcome. Encouragement, camaraderie and shared emotions all contribute to the unique atmosphere of the event, with families, friends and spectators playing an important part.

For Domaine de Labourdonnais, supporting this event reflects our belief that sport is more than a discipline. It is a source of well-being, a way to bring people together and an inspiring opportunity to build stronger communities around positive values.

Set among sugarcane fields, shaded pathways and the historic surroundings of the estate, The Loop Backyard Ultra offers a truly unique experience – not only for the runners, but also for those who come to support them.
