The Awa Backyard Ultra and Backyard 6
Apista Events and the Awa Backyard Ultra present a backyard ultra format in Whanganui at 1021 Kaiwhaiki Road. The event uses a repeated lap structure: competitors complete a 6.7 km lap every hour, with a new lap starting on the hour.
There are two formats on the same course. The Backyard Ultra continues with one 6.7 km lap each hour until only one runner remains who can start the next lap. The Backyard 6 follows the same hourly lap pattern but finishes after six hours, giving participants a fixed-duration option using the same lap distance.
The format emphasizes repeated hourly efforts on the same loop. The course location is given as 1021 Kaiwhaiki Road, Whanganui, New Zealand. The event is presented by Apista Events together with the Awa Backyard Ultra organization.
The description focuses on the event structure and location rather than start times or individual contacts. It notes the existence of two participation formats and the lap distance used for each hour. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
