ABOUT

The Brandberg Backyard Ultra, our flagship event, is an annual long-distance running event hosted in Uis, Damaraland. Known for its unique format and friendly supportive atmosphere, the event also serves as a fundraiser for environmental conservation efforts in Namibia. The event is hosted by the Scholtz Family, Nico, Riana and their two sons Alexander and Victor, under their Namibia Ultra Trails brand. The Scholtzes are an active family who love to run, travel, and give back to their community and country where and how they can. The Scholtzes are not affiliated with any of the sponsors or the event venue.
