About this event
Bargara by Night 18hr Backyard Ultra is a thrilling "last one standing" endurance running event hosted by the Bargara Triathlon Club, where the ultimate test of stamina takes runners through day and night.
Participants tackle a 6.7km loop based at Neilsons Beach Park, starting on the hour, every hour, with options to run for **6, 12, or 18 hours**. The race kicks off at **12pm (noon)** on **Saturday, 29 August 2026**, offering **six daylight loops** on beautiful coastal trails before the real challenge begins: **running through the night** under the glow of a full moon. **Headlamps are required** for every lap, and all night runners must be **18+**.
If more than one runner remains at the end of the chosen timeframe, the winner is determined by the **fastest overall time**. After 80km, the 18-hour athletes push into the final 6 hours—an additional **40.2km**—to reach the finish. **Finish at least one lap to earn your medal!**
