Backyard Academy
Backyard: format, community, academy
Biotropika is the largest backyard in Russia! We not only organize annual and regional races all over the country, but also create the main community of backyard-athletes.
What's Backyard?
It's a unique discipline where every lap is a new challenge. It's not speed that decides here, but strategy, endurance, and fortitude.
Backyard Academy
We have collected maximum useful information: interviews with experienced runners, their stories, secrets of preparation and motivation.
Perhaps this is where you will find the inspiration to test yourself and get off to a flying start.
