GV Last Man Standing Backyard Ultra

GV Last Man Standing Backyard Ultra

GV Last Man Standing Backyard Ultra is a backyard ultra held in Shepparton, Victoria. The format requires runners to complete repeated laps with the simple objective: run one lap further than everyone else. There is no second place; a competitor either wins or does not finish.

The event is presented as the fourth edition in 2026. Past editions show growing participation: 26 starters in 2022, 71 starters in 2023, and 113 starters in 2024. Recorded outcomes include a winning distance of 31 yards in 2022, 34 yards in 2023, and 39 yards in 2024. In 2024, 19 participants completed 24 hours and seven completed 30 hours.

Organizers describe the course as fast and flat. The format gives runners a regular break between laps while maintaining an elimination-style progression determined by who can complete the next lap. The event information notes a village area used in previous years to support runners and crews.

Details such as location and date are specified for the 2026 edition. The event is organised locally in Northern Victoria and follows the backyard ultra rules that define the last-person-standing structure and lap-based progression. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
