Backyard 101
Bakgarður 101 er systurkeppni Bakgarðs Náttúruhlaupa sem fer fram í Heiðmörk í september ár hvert. Keppnin fer fram í Öskjuhlíð, frá Mjölnisheimilinu, 29. apríl 2023.
Keppnin verður haldin í annað sinn þann 29. apríl 2023. Keppnin hefst við Mjölnisheimilið í Öskjuhlíð og fer leiðin um skemmtilega stíga Öskjuhlíðar og góða göngustíga meðfram henni og Nauthólsvík (um 60% malar- og náttúrustígar og 40% malbik).
Backyards are a special kind of ultra runs where participants need to finish running 6706 meters (4,167 miles) within the hour. Each loop starts at the hour and after the runners finish a loop they can use the remaining time to rest and prepare for the next loop. The winner is the last person to complete a loop. If no runner can complete one more loop than anyone else, there is no winner. The total distance for a runner that finishes 24 loops (24 hours) is 100 miles (160.8 km).

Silver tickets and world championships
Bakgarður 101 2023 er ekki silfurhlaup en keppnin er þó tækifæri fyrir alla til að ná sem lengst og geta komist í íslenska landsliðið í bakgarðshlaupum ef keppnin fer nægilega langt.
