The ultimate backyard ultra marathon event
The ultimate backyard ultra marathon event
Located on a 6th generation cattle property in rural Queensland, this Backyard Ultra Marathon is like no other. You will test your limits in a place where the cattle roam free and the gullies run dry. 6.7km, each hour, every hour until the last one is standing. The question is, are YOU ready TO TEST YOUR LIMITS?

A WEEKEND TO REMEMBER
The new standard in backyard ultra marathons
The race format of a Backyard Ultra is quite simple. You have to run a 6.7km loop within the hour, every hour, until there is only one race participant left. Runners drop out of the race for 3 main reasons;
- Failing to complete the loop within the hour
- Failing to make the start line before the next loop begins
- Accepting defeat “Yeah I’m done mate”
