Wild Dog Backyard Ultra

Wild Dog Backyard Ultra is an endurance challenge from Ultra Series Australia held at Lardner Park, near Warragul, Victoria. Runners complete a 6.71-kilometer loop each hour until only one competitor remains. The course winds through farmland, trails and open spaces on private grounds renowned for Victoria’s events.

The format is unforgiving: miss a cut-off or fail to start the next lap, and you’re out; the winner is the last person standing who must complete one more lap than the second-last runner. Described as brutal yet beautiful, Wild Dog tests mental grit, persistence, and the lure of “one more lap.”. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
