The Glass House Standing is a unique Backyard Ultra running event held at the base of Wild Horse Mountain in the Glasshouse Mountains, Sunshine Coast, Australia. Participants race a challenging 6.7km loop that must be completed within each hour, with a new loop starting at the top of every hour. The race tests endurance, resilience, and strategy, as runners decide whether to continue or withdraw. The event celebrates the natural beauty of the Glasshouse Mountains and supports the "Save Our Glasshouse Mountains" campaign, with profits aiding conservation efforts. Limited to 200 runners, it offers a scenic, demanding course marked with reflective tape and directional arrows. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
