The Riverland Backyard Ultra is South Australia’s newest backyard ultra, set to begin on Saturday, 13 March 2027, at Loveday Adventure Park in the heart of the Riverland, Barmera.
Runners must complete one 6.71 km (4.17 mile) mixed-terrain loop every hour, on the hour, starting at 12:00 PM (midday). The course includes trail, dirt road, and a touch of outback, and is rebuilt each hour to maintain its integrity.
The event follows Big’s Backyard Ultra rules: you must finish the loop within the hour and be back on the start line for the next. There is no set finish distance or medal—only one more loop. The race continues until just one runner remains; that person wins, and everyone else records a DNF (Did Not Finish).
This is an officially affiliated Big’s Backyard Ultra qualifier, open for both solo and Team Ultra entries. Built by ultra runners for ultra runners, the event embraces a community-first, finish-last spirit. Families are welcome, and on-site camping is available.
