Garden City Backyard Ultra 2026

The Garden City Backyard Ultra is an endurance running event held over the October long weekend at the Toowoomba Showgrounds Caravan Park in Glenvale, Queensland, Australia. Participants run a loop of 6.71 km every hour; each loop must be completed within the hour and the event continues until only one person remains.

The schedule spans the October long weekend beginning 3 October 2026. The format uses repeated hourly laps rather than a fixed total distance; finishing is determined by who completes the last required lap when no other competitor completes the same lap.

Entry and camping arrangements are listed for the event. An entry fee is shown in the registration information. Camping options include single night, two night, and three night tickets with the following published prices: A$30 for one night, A$60 for two nights, and A$90 for three nights. Options for longer camping stays are available by separate arrangement. The registration listing also notes early registration and standard registration periods. A restricted entry category is listed for participants with a specific access code for the 7th Signals Regiment.
