About
Located on a 6th generation cattle property in rural Queensland, this Backyard Ultra Marathon is a unique endurance event where participants must complete a 6.7km loop within an hour, every hour, until only one runner remains. The event takes place where cattle roam free and gullies run dry, offering runners a distinctive outback ultra-marathon experience. The race format follows the backyard ultra concept created by Gary Cantrell, testing participants' physical and mental limits in the Australian bush.
