Your next adventure is right outside your door.
Let's fucking go.
Your next adventure isn't six flight hours away — it's right outside your door. Ride however you want: fast, slow, alone, or with a friend.
You don't need to be beyond civilisation to feel like you're in the middle of nowhere. At Hamburg's Backyard you're far enough from everything to be alone with yourself, your thoughts, and your friends.
Unsupported.
But never alone.
Two formats, one home. Four days through Mecklenburg or one night through the dark.
A gravel ultra for everyone who has never done a gravel ultra.*
*And also for everyone who already has.

You set off Friday evening. Saturday you're back. In between: 250 kilometers, one night, and an experience you won't forget in a hurry.
Your adventure in one night
The last rays of sun on your skin. Hamburg disappears behind you. Ahead: 250 kilometers.
Your beam of light is your entire world. Gravel under your tyres, stars above.
Fatigue. Doubt. You ride anyway.
The horizon brightens. Hamburg appears. You are a different person than last night. Coffee, finish line, and a grin that lasts for days.
One Friday evening. 250 kilometers. Your adventure.
No feed stations. No technical support. No individual assistance. You take care of yourself from start to finish.
But: mutual help between participants is allowed and encouraged. That's not a bug in the system — it's part of the culture.
The term refers to logistics, not difficulty. Start and finish in Hamburg, easy travel, never far from civilisation. Moderate distance and elevation compared to other ultras.
But: the course is demanding. You need training, experience with long distances, and solid preparation.
