Herdy's Frontyard Ultra
Herdy's Frontyard Ultra is a Backyard Ultra held at Herdsman Lake, Herdsman, Western Australia. Runners complete a loop of 6.71 km on the hour, every hour, and continue repeating that loop until only one runner remains. Each loop must be completed within the hour; participants who fail to finish a loop or who choose not to continue are recorded as DNF.
The event is presented as part of Ultra Series Australia and takes place within a festival-style setting around the lake. The format equates 24 completed loops of 6.71 km to 100 miles. The organisers describe the race as a personal endurance challenge focused on how many loops each entrant can complete.
The event relies on volunteers to operate; volunteers receive a 20% discount toward a future Ultra Series event, which can be accrued. The race page references a race manual and key information including aid stations, entry process, entry fees, and mandatory gear. Results and photos from past editions are maintained by the organisers.
Similar Backyard Ultra events in the series use the same loop distance and format at other locations. The Herdy's Frontyard Ultra has been noted for producing competitive performances on the Herdsman Lake circuit and for growing into a large Backyard Ultra within the series.
