Melbourne Frontyard Ultra

MelbOURne Frontyard Ultra

MelbOURne Frontyard Ultra is an Ultra Series Backyard event held on Saturday May 1, 2027, in the parklands around Melbourne City. The course is centred near Deep Rock Road in Fairfield and uses trails through Studley Park.

The format uses a repeating loop of 6.71 km. Runners complete the loop on the hour, every hour, and continue for as many loops as they can until only one participant remains. The event emphasises repeated timed laps rather than a set finish distance.

The event is the fifth addition to the Ultra Series Backyard lineup. The organiser lists a cash giveaway of $15,000 associated with the event. Volunteers support the event and are offered incentives including 50% off next year’s Melbourne Frontyard entry or 20% off entry to other Ultra Series events.

Information published by the organiser highlights the central location within Melbourne parklands and the use of scenic trails for the loop. The event page also groups this race with other Frontyard Ultra events in Australia that use the same hourly loop format. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
