Farm Yard Ultra - last person standing
Farm Yard Ultra is an endurance event at Boomrits Adventures in Bloemfontein, Free State. The event offers multiple formats for runners and mountain bikers that use repeating loops completed every hour.
The core Last Person Standing format requires participants to complete a full loop each hour until one competitor completes a solo final lap. Loop distances are:
- 6.704 km trail run
- 13.4 km mountain bike
Additional options include time-limited endurance challenges (1–6 hours and 1–12 hours), an ultra distance challenge targeting 50 km+ for runners and 100 km+ for MTB, team relays, and a Saturday Fun Run / Fun Ride (1 or 2 laps, entry from R100). All participants must start each loop on the hourly bell, remain inside the measured starting corral at the bell, and complete each lap within the hour. Common aid stations are allowed; no personal aid during a loop. Competitors may not leave the course except for restrooms. The winner is the last athlete to complete a solo loop; if no athlete completes one more loop than the rest, no winner is declared.
The event includes a marked route with reflective markers, basic medical support, a charging station on site, and free professional race photos. Distances completed by each athlete will be published. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
