Bayside Backyard Ultra 2026
The Bayside Backyard Ultra is a community endurance running event held at Bayside Park on the Manly foreshore in Manly, QLD, Australia. The event follows the backyard ultra format: runners complete a loop each hour and must finish the loop before the next hour begins to continue.
The course uses a 6.7 km loop along the Manly foreshore. The event is capped at 12 laps, which results in a full distance of 80.4 km if a runner completes every lap. Runners set up a personal base at the Race Centre and return there between laps.
The event is self-supported; there are no aid stations on course. Water is available from public fountains but runners should carry what they need while on the loop. Recommended items to bring include a chair, an esky with food and fluids, a towel and spare socks or clothes, shade (such as a small gazebo), sunscreen, a hat, and a mobile phone to carry on course.
All athletes must be age 18 or older on race day. A registration fee applies. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
