Proceeds from this event will benefit the Southern New Mexico Trail Alliance.
Welcome to the inaugural Day of the Dead edition of the Land of Enchantment Back Yard Ultra, beginning on October 31st, 2025.
We are incredibly excited and honoured to welcome you to our new signature event of the year, with a new host venue rarely used for events. The Prehistoric Trackways National Monument has a network of well-maintained trails, primarily crushed gravel, with some elevation change. This YARD will offer scenic views of the Organ Mountain range and will “simply” test a runner’s limits.
Do you have enough persistence to push yourself further than you think is possible? Do you have enough persistence to be the Last One Standing? Find out on October 31st, 2025.
