Quite simple really. Camp at a beautiful spot. Roll a dice, run the corresponding loop, roll the dice again, run again, and repeat. Winner is the first person home after three loops. Loops range from 6.3km to 26km. There’s a lovely variety of calf burning climbs, glorious native bush, wild subalpine ridges, technical downhills, mud, great views and a few stream crossings. Be aware this is a fatass style event. You are responsible for looking after yourself.

A Backyard Ultra is a form of running event where competitors try to consecutively run a loop measuring 6.7km in less than one hour. Each competitor chooses how quickly they run the loop (known as a yard) and when each yard is completed, the remaining time within the hour is typically used to recover before the next yard starts on the hour. Competitors complete as many yards as they can and the winner is the last person to complete a lap within the allocated hour
