The Awa Backyard Ultra and Backyard 6
The Awa Backyard Ultra and Backyard 6 take place in Whanganui at 1021 Kaiwhaiki Road on 26 September 2026. The events use a backyard ultra format in which runners complete a 6.7 km lap on the hour, every hour.
The Backyard Ultra continues with a new 6.7 km lap each hour until only one runner remains. The Backyard 6 follows the same hourly lap pattern but finishes after six hours. Runners may stop whenever they choose; the format records how long each participant continues.
Apista Events and the Awa Backyard Ultra are listed as the event organisers. The site for the event is located at the given Whanganui address. The listing notes multiple participants have registered for the event.
The description focuses on the core format and location. It does not include start or finish times beyond the event date, and it omits personal contact details. The repeating lap structure and the two event options provide a clear distinction between the open-ended Backyard Ultra and the time-limited Backyard 6.
