Sydney's Backyard Ultra

Sydney's Backyard Ultra is an endurance race at St Ives Showground, Sydney, Australia. Runners tackle a 6.71 km loop, with 34 meters of elevation, every hour, on the hour, and are eliminated if they don’t finish or start a loop. The format continues until only one competitor remains.

The course is fully marked the day before, and spectators can spot runners along the route. Entrants receive a premium event shirt, free race photos, a finisher medal, and access to live streaming and live results. The event emphasizes sustainability with a cupless policy and a supportive, communal atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
