Glass House Standing
Coochin Creek, Australia • 31 Dec 2025
The Glasshouse Standing is a unique Backyard Ultra event held at the base of Wild Horse Mountain in the Glasshouse Mountains on Queensland's Sunshine Coast. Participants race a challenging 6.7km loop every hour, starting on the hour, aiming to complete each loop within the hour to continue. The event tests endurance, resilience, and strategy, with the last runner to complete a loop alone declared the winner. The course is marked with reflective tape and arrows, and night loops require mandatory high-visibility gear and head torches. Limited to 200 runners, the race supports the "Save Our Glasshouse Mountains" campaign, with profits aiding conservation efforts. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
