Welcome to the inaugural Red's Backyard Ultra! We are excited you are here...
A Backyard Ultra is a race not quite like any other. It is a last-one-standing event where participants run a loop (known as a ‘yard’) of 6.7056 km every hour on the hour until there is only one runner left; all other runners are technically a DNF. Runners are rivals, but they are also teammates. They combine their efforts to complete as many yards as possible. However, it is not until only two runners remain that it becomes a race to see who will win.
Why run a race where there is a substantial chance of a DNF? Because it is a race against yourself more than anyone else. How far can you push yourself? 12 hours, the next day, 2 days! It is the ultimate endurance test of the body, mind and soul, and we would love to see you come and play, come and toe the line and share your journey with us on Saturday 5 August 2023.
