About this Event

On April 26th, 2025 we will be hosting our second annual Waterfront Ultra Charity Race at Project Barley Waterfront in Redondo Beach, CA. The idea for our event was inspired by the world famous Backyard Ultra Championships created by Lazarus Lake (https://backyardultra.com). After following this event for a number of years, we thought it would be a fun idea to not only try it ourselves, but also be of service to our community in the process. Here’s how it works.
Every hour on the hour, racers are required to step up to the starting line and proceed to run 4.167 miles. The race continues every hour until the final hour where it becomes a race for time. Simple! Athletes can choose to compete in either a 50 Mile, 12 hour or a 25 Mile, 6 hour version of the race and will be allowed to use our designated rest area in the Project Barley Annex while waiting for the next hour to start. Fair warning, while this area is large enough to hold everyone, it is not large enough for everyone to lay down while all athletes are still in the race. Be kind to your fellow racer.
Check out the Backyard Ultra Documentary, Just One More Lap, on YouTube for a better look at what a Backyard Ultra is all about. (

The Project Barley Waterfront side will be open to the public all day for family and spectators to hang and enjoy live music, good food, and a fun hang. Public restrooms are located next door to the location.
We are limiting this year’s event to 100 racers. General entry is $50 (plus fee). All proceeds will be donated to Cancer Support Community South Bay. Race day shirt included with all entries.
This year’s Waterfront Ultra is designed to be a fun get together of like minded individuals who enjoy fitness, a good hang, and giving back to the community. This is not a city sponsored event so please respect the local community as if this were your own backyard. Whether you run one lap or you go all day, this race is for you to find your own limits. We can’t wait to see everyone on race day!
