Red's Backyard Ultra
Event location
Description
Red's Backyard Ultra will take place on Saturday, 25 October 2025, at the Kembla Joggers Clubhouse, Darkes Road, Kembla Grange, NSW, Australia. This unique ultramarathon follows the "last one standing" format, where runners must complete a 6.706 km (4.167 miles) loop every hour on the hour until only one athlete remains.
Please note: the event originally scheduled for 2 August 2025 has been postponed to 25 October 2025.
Participants run consecutive loops on a NSW State Cross Country course, starting each new loop exactly one hour after the previous. Each loop must be completed within the hour to continue. Runners must be in the starting corral at the sound of the bell to begin each loop; late starts result in disqualification (DNF). Throughout the race, competitors are rivals but also share a spirit of camaraderie, encouraging one another to cover as many loops as possible. When only two runners remain, the format shifts to a head-to-head race to determine the sole winner.
The event emphasizes endurance, strategy, and resilience, challenging athletes to push through exhaustion and changing conditions until only one runner completes a loop alone, claiming victory.
Distances:
1 x 6.7K per hour - Last one standing format
