Cyprus Backyard Ultra (CBU) is an exhilarating race where runners push their limits in a last-person-standing challenge.

Inspired by the renowned Big Dog’s Backyard Ultra, this event promises thrills, camaraderie, and unforgettable moments as participants test their endurance against the stunning backdrop of Cyprus.

– Runners start together and complete the loop within an hour.

– If they finish before the hour, they wait at the start line for the next loop.

– No breaks or outside assistance allowed except between loops.

– As the race progresses, the loop becomes mentally and physically challenging.

– The true test lies in pacing, recovery, and mental resilience.
