Outback Ultra : Run Your Outback
Run Your Outback hosts the Outback Ultra on 19-20 June 2027. The event adapts the Backyard Ultra format to an Outback setting and runs across a 24 hour period. Participants start a loop of 6.7 km on the hour every hour, repeating that yard for up to 24 hours. If a runner completes a loop before the hour ends, the remaining time in that hour serves as recovery. If a runner fails to finish a loop within the hour they officially bow out; they may choose to continue unofficially at the next hour to keep going.
Entries are possible individually or as a team. Solo and team category winners are those who complete all 24 loops in the shortest time. The event notes the possibility of aiming for an approximate 100 mile total by completing many of the loops within the 24 hour window.
The event takes place in the Outback with acknowledgement of Kimek and welcomes the Kungarakan. Run Your Outback states that profits from events are invested back into Remote Outreach programs that support First Nations youth in remote Top End communities. All participants under 15 must be accompanied by an adult at all times. The organiser recognises the traditional custodians of the lands run on, including the Kungarakan, Warray and Wagiman peoples, and notes cultural and historical sensitivities.
