Smurf's Backyard Ultra

Smurf's Backyard Ultra takes place at Smithfield Mountain Bike Park Trail head, McGregor Road, Smithfield, Queensland, Australia, in tropical Far North Queensland near Cairns. The event features a 6.7-kilometer backyard-style ultra loop along the Smithfield Mountain Bike Trails, with runners completing a lap on the hour, every hour, as long as they can continue. A Mini Backyard option offers up to six laps for those not planning a long endurance challenge. The weekend atmosphere includes a Saturday night party with food, drinks, bar and live music, making this an experience rather than just a race. The format relies on hourly laps, highlighting perseverance across conditions. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
