Łukasz Wróbel with our support in the endless run

Publication date: 2025-09-09

We are proud to announce that our company is supporting Łukasz Wróbel – an ultramarathon runner who will soon take part in the Backyard Ultra World Championships in Bell Buckle (USA).

This unique challenge will test not only physical endurance but also strength of character and determination. With his passion and perseverance, Łukasz inspires us to push beyond our own limits. We keep our fingers crossed for his race and cheer him on with all our hearts!

Łukasz Wróbel, a Polish ultramarathon runner also known as “Motyla Noga”, lives in Leszno. Running has been his passion for over two decades — he started as an amateur to improve fitness, and quickly achieved impressive results, including a marathon completed in under 3 hours (personal best 2:38).

A remarkable world record — Backyard Ultra

In May 2025, during the Legends Backyard Ultra in Retie, Belgium, Łukasz Wróbel set a new world record in the Backyard Ultra format — completing 116 loops, over 777 km, in almost 116 hours without a break!

Life, passion, recovery

For Łukasz, running is also a form of mental relaxation — even though the distances are extreme, the experience itself brings him peace of mind.
He sees his achievements as the result of years of discipline, planning, and pure passion, not just talent.

Looking ahead — Bell Buckle

Thanks to his record and victory in Belgium, Łukasz qualified for the Backyard Ultra World Individual Championships, to be held in October in Bell Buckle, Tennessee, USA — the birthplace of the Backyard Ultra format, a simple yet merciless system testing endurance, willpower, and strategy.

The rule is simple — the challenge extraordinary

The rules of Backyard Ultra are stunningly simple: every hour, runners start a 4.1667-mile (6.706 km) loop. They have exactly 60 minutes to complete it. Those who finish rest until the next round; those who don’t are eliminated. The winner is the last person to complete a loop alone — hence the iconic motto: “There is no finish. There is only one finisher.”

Bell Buckle — the cradle of the format

Bell Buckle is a small town in the southern USA, but it holds a special place on the ultrarunning map. Life here is simple — runners sleep in tents, crews are small, and every start is signaled by Laz’s bell. Despite the lack of spectacle and commercial flash, the atmosphere is electrifying: it is a celebration of sporting spirit, endurance, and competition.

Records and legends

Bell Buckle is where records fall and legends are born. Here, true titans of the sport test their physical and mental resilience — each day becomes a battle of sleep management, nutrition, and recovery. Starting at Big Dog’s Backyard is a dream for many ultrarunners and a symbol of the sport’s highest level.

Backyard Ultra is not just an extreme mileage race — it is a social and mental experiment. It shows how far human determination can go, how crucial strategy is, and how valuable the bonds between competitors become during long hours of shared struggle. For both amateur and professional runners, it is a source of inspiration and a lesson in humility.
