- **Event Description**: 2026 is more than just a race.
It’s a farewell – to the adventure that brought us together.
The 2026 program is set – and it marks the final chapter of an unforgettable journey.

To the magic of a place that became the stage for our most powerful moments.
To the challenge that pushed us to our limits – and beyond.

We hope many of you will join us one more time –
to dive into the silence of the lake,
into the thrill of the challenge,
into the heart of what Backwaterman has always been about.

One last time. One final race. One last goosebump moment.
One last time: Backwaterman.
