Backyard Ultra 2026 (6hr) at Left Handed Giant St Philips Brewery
This event uses the backyard ultra format: participants run one loop every hour. Each loop is 4 miles; the event lasts six loops, totalling 24 miles / 39K for those who complete all six. Runners complete as many hourly loops as they can. A participant is eliminated if they do not complete a loop within the hour or if they do not start their loop at the required time. No pacers are allowed. The first person back at the end of the sixth loop is declared the winner; prizes are awarded to the first male and female finishers on completion of that loop.
The route follows the organiser’s usual short Thursday night course in reverse, starting from the Left Handed Giant taproom. Road shoes are recommended. There is no parking at the venue; public transport is advised.
Included for participants are one Left Handed Giant beer (alcohol-free option available), a goody bundle for finishers, a water station with Precision Fuel and Hydration, Jimmy’s iced coffee, and a small snack station. Friends and family may attend to cheer and there is an after-party. Mandatory kit includes a charged mobile phone, head torch or hand torch, suitable shoes and clothing for varied weather, nutrition, a water bottle, and a hot cup. The event is for adults aged 18 and over. Refunds are available up to seven days before the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
