The Maribyrnong Valley Park Backyard Ultra, hosted by Trailsplus at Brimbank Park in Keilor, Victoria, is a unique endurance running event featuring a 6.7 km loop that participants must complete every hour on the hour. The race continues hour after hour, with all remaining runners tied for first place until only one remains—the "Last One Standing." This format emphasizes endurance and mental strength over speed. Runners can choose from various entry options based on distance goals, including 25 km, marathon, 100 km, or unlimited laps.
The event fosters a supportive atmosphere and contributes to charity, donating $1 per participant to Canteen, supporting young people living with cancer. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
