This is a Self-Sufficient Endurance Event
Backyard Ultras are designed around self-sufficiency.
While we provide a large support marquee (maximum of 2 crew at anyone time and no spectators) and a welcoming race HQ, space within the marquee cannot be guaranteed, particularly during busy periods.
All runners should arrive prepared with appropriate clothing, equipment, sleeping arrangements and everything they require to support themselves throughout the event.
We provide complimentary microwave, hot /cold drinks and a selection of basic runner snacks to help keep competitors going. However, crew members are expected to provide their own food and refreshments throughout the event.
2027 We have in place a no alcohol policy within the event service marquee. Please ensure your support crew are aware of this.
We pride ourselves on going above and beyond what many Backyard Ultras provide, but entrants should understand that this remains a self-supported endurance race.
